Go to the nearest pharmacy and procure a few bottles of rubbing alcohol. Bathe the keyboard in the alcohol while continuously hitting all of the keys. When you are done, you can put the keyboard on the top shelf of your fridge to dry it out. This ONLY works with fully mechanical keys BTW. If someone is reading this and thinks it will help there rubber dome keyboard, I would not suggest it. | ||

Alcohol is good because it is way less viscous than water and can break into the tiny spots of a mechanical keyboard in way less time, thats why you push buttons. You can let it air dry, rubbing alcohol dries quickly. | ||

Distilled water is never a good idea near anything electronic, even if it's turned off, it causes massive oxidation, corrodes, and evaporates slow as shit. Mind you, distilled water beats tap water. Water overall is more corrosive than rubbing alcohol for these purposes, just due to the lack of volatility. | ||

I suggest taking the keys off as it will be easier to get the rice out later. Hope your keyboard will work well. I've never tried pure alcohol or distilled water to fix moisture in the keyboard. Best of luck This would probably make it harder to clean, since the rice wouldn't absorb all the sugars and stuff, and would leave dust that could stick to the sugar and prevent contact. It's iffy enough for water, but with water being such a huge risk, the rice can't really be worse. With something sticky, I wouldn't try it. High purity rubbing alcohol is super cheap, is a good solvent, and evaporates quickly without doing too much damage to most keyboard materials, as long as it isn't soaked. Might be rough on plastic or rubber over extended contact. | ||
