I was wondering if anybody could offer advice?
You see, I’ve got this keyboard…
It’s relatively new and cost around $60.00
(It’s one of those Microsoft –natural keyboard
elite- with super comfy ergonomic usability)
But…problem is that I spilled
half a glass of water unto it!!!!!!
Can any thing be done?
Cause it jus’ takes sooo long to compose
a letter with cut & paste.
(the keys effected are ‘t’ ‘h’ ‘n’ and ‘5’)
I ‘m using ctrl + c & ctrl + v constantly!
Please, any assistance would be most obliged.
I can’t really afford another new keyboard right now.

| (...) There's actually nothing wrong with spilling a half a glass of water on a keyboard, as long as you limit it to the top half of the glass. :-) (...) Just be glad it wasn't something sticky like Coke, or orange juice... Here's the procedure: (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-02, to lugnet.people)
