TL,DR: spilled beer on keyboard, now specific keys glitch out. Am I screwed?
On Friday night, I spilled beer (Rainier) on my Logitech G19 keyboard. Not a lot, but a few sips from the can. The LCD screen was still lit up and displaying properly. I noticed the beer was properly spilling through the channels and out of the dainage holes. After wiping up the beer under the keyboard and on top of the keys, I flipped the keyboard over to try to get any last drops out. I was watching a youtube video on how to take off the keys to clean it, and it said never turn your keyboard upside down when liquid is in it. I pried off all of the keys and ran water over the keyboard, then let it sit and dry over night. The next morning I placed the keys in a bowl of water to soak for a few minutes.
Last evening, after making sure that the keys and board were try (they looked to be), I reattached all of the keys. Some had small water drops on them, but I shook out as much water as possible. If I saw a small pile of water, I would dry it with a q tip. I plugged in my keyboard's USB and power, and everything worked fine. I tested all of the keys (including ~, keypad -, keypad enter, and the media keys). Thinking this was a success, I put my computer to sleep and went to leave.
My computer immediately turned back on, and an enter key was being spammed (incorrect password at windows login). I entered my password (the spamming stopped as soon as I typed anything), and opened up Word. A little while after, the ~, keypad -, and keypad enter keys were being spammed, along with my macros for G1, G4, and G10. Any time I typed anything on the keyboard, the spamming stopped. When I manually hit those keys, I got no response. I popped those keys off, but there was no water on the contacts. When the power to the keyboard is connected, it spams ` and enter. When the power isn't connected, it also spams keypad -. After uninstalling and reinstalling the Logitech drivers, the computer recognizes it as a keyboard, and Logitech recognizes it as a G19 and loads my profiles. However, none of the keys work. I disconnected the keyboard and let it dry even longer, to make sure that all of the liquid is out. I haven't plugged it back in yet after letting it dry all night.
Is my keyboard broken? I bought it when it was really cheap on sale, and now they don't make that model anymore
