Hey guys, i am wondering what's the damage after spilling a small amount of coffee on the keyboard ? Does the PCB burns or just the liquid ruins the control temporary by a short circuit and gets fixed when the liquid is completely gone ?

I've spilled some small amount of coffee on my mechanical keyboard and i wonder if it will revive, i've washed it in the bath and now waiting for it to dry, the problem is that i did not realized that keyboard catched the coffee, because most of coffee was spilled on the table and later noticed that all my keys was messed up ( for example i press "c", i get "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", i press arrow and my PC beeps ( spamming few keys at the same time thousand times per sec ). The coffee got in the arrow and bottom numpad teritory ( around 1 tea spoon in amount ). Keyboard was on power after spill for about 1min.
