Yes, I did it again, right on the keyboard. Gave it a quick rinse with water, seems OK for now....Thought about placing it on the Harman to dry it out but thought better of the idea.
Logitech wireless keyboard.

The last one I took apart had like a mat inside with a contact switch for each key, bubble wrap with a spring switch inside would probably be best analogy. There isn't much too them if you take it apart. Having said that if it works.......

This terrrible headline grabbed my attention! I assume you tipped it (keyboard) on end over your glass! toothy

My Sam Adams tends to leave a dark tar-like substance in between all the keys ..... I can't even tell you how many keyboards I've had apart trying to clean them! Between beer & food pieces, it's a horror show! :D

I had to take apart a previous keyboard (wired) after a major spill a few years ago, yes, not much inside. Since this one is wireless there is circuitry inside as well. It seems to have survived. Time to clean the desk (again) so I have a safe zone for beverages. :idea:

Luckily it was only a small amount of Black and Tan...I managed to save the beverage mostly intact :!:
