Is there anyway I can fix my ducky one 2 mini if pepsi was spilt on it and it no longer types? (D+L still puts keyboard into reboot mode?)

Does the following User Manual link match your keyboard?

I did not note any specific cleaning information so you will probably need to start with some generic cleaning process.

Examples:

[However, do not use the "dishwasher" last resort as suggested.]

Keep in mind that whatever you do may void the keyboard's warranty. Not sure if the key caps are removal are not If...

And if you use rubbing alcohol to clean go outside and away from any potential sources of sparks and flames.

You likely need to replace the keyboard.
My son recently spilled something on a T430s laptop keyboard, making some keys non functional.
I replaced the keyboard and looked at the damaged unit.
Liquid had seeped into the internal workings so no amount of cleaning was going to fix it.
