Tea and keyboards do not mix - the anxious wait

So I coughed while drinking tea and it went all over the place. Including my keyboard. I've whipped off the keycaps and applied copious IPA so it's just a case of waiting.

I suppose the keyboard needed cleaning anyway.

So far so good.

All still good.

Just make sure it's dried properly... I saw a video years ago with some guy washing peripherals in his shower.

Oh yes, the very old keyboards could be washed under a tap (in a soft-water area) then left to dry in an airing cupboard.
