Guild Wars 2

So, about a week ago, the thing that we all dread happened. That’s right, I spilt pepsi upon my keyboard. Hitting about 12+ keys around the bottom left of the keyboard, a fairly major spill. The circumstance was one of having had a pepsi can upon my desk for 3 weeks and deciding the time was right to bin it. Possessing no high % alcohol or anything similar, I resorted to remedying my situation with water. Initially this worked, however the Alt key and “C” key remained VERY stiff. They still functioned but were hard to press down.
So, what did my intelligent student self do? Why, I dabbed more water into the switches. This did not go down so well with my poor Corsair K60. Having left it 24 hours since this point, it’s currently not responding (though earlier it was going crazy – short circuits galore). Wut do? Shall I try obtain some distilled water and soak it? Will this mess up the circuits more?
TLDR: Spilt pepsi on Corsair K60, cleaned switches with regular tap water. It worked initially but Alt and “C” keys remained stiff, tried to lube up these 2 key’s switches with water again, keyboard now not responding 24 hours since this cleaning attempting. What can I do to save the keyboard without damaging it further?
P.S. original pepsi spill was about 5 days ago.
Thanks!

Buy a new keyboard. Outside of that solution, I’d look around town for places that work on computers and ask them if they clean keyboards. Distilled water probably wont fix it now either.

This. Did you have it on or plugged in while it was wet?
