Thankful for help This here is the problem, because it's liquid damage it won't be covered by the warranty. Disconnect it, or get someone that knows how to deal with electronics to do all this. Take the keycaps off. They should just lever off - put them in a box or other safe container. You'll need to open it up by unscrewing it (there's probably a YouTube video showing how to disassemble your model of keyboard) and possibly a bit of welly in places. Once it's open it's time to use something like 90% isopropyl alchohol (should find this in tech shops) and a cotton bud/cloth - apply the alcohol to the cloth then gently rub down the keyboard - especially where the soda has dried and gunked everything up. Once it's clean - leave it in a dust free place to dry for at least 24 hours but I recommend longer - like 2-4 days before reassembling. It should then work - so long as it's not completely fried (it doesn't sound like it is) | ||

Also if this ever happens again unplug it ASAP, mechanical keyboards are extremely prone to spills. Backlit ones especially so with their higher power draw. At that point let it dry for a full 24-48 hours before even thinking about seeing if it works again. | ||
