i spilled water on my corsair vengeance k90 and first it started pushing random keys, then completely died same as urs, backlight would stll come on but the keys wouldn't work.

i ended up unplugging it and letting it dry for a couple days and then it worked fine again.

me, being stupid...plugged the keyboard back in.

Yeah. It might still have a chance to work again if you did let it dry before plugging it back.

RIP

quite an experience there. Oh well, sometimes bad things precede the good things yet to come. Maybe your new keyboard will get you into GM?

When I was really young - around junior high school - I accidentally spilled a drink on my laptop, moved to turn it off immediately but noticed everything seemed to be functioning normally. So I went "oh, it must be water-proof" and kept using it until it short circuited within 10 seconds.

SO. DUMB.

UPDATE:
As of 2 days later, I left my keyboard close to a heater. Over the past two days it must've dried out, because this morning when I tried it it worked!
ITS ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEE
The shift button and control button are a little sticky but all in all, it still works :D

Still the worst 1.25 I spent though, the past two days were so hard to deal with t_t
