Re: Keyboard and coffee not a great combination :(

The idea is ok, you don't need to dismantle it, just put the keyboard into
your dishwasher (of course no detergent). Afterwards you need to ensure that
the keyboard is completely dry before you use it again. There are two ways
to achieve this: 1) wait or 2) put into pure alcohol, then wait (a much
shorter period than before) or place into a vacuum.

I don't have a dishwasher :)

I'm planning on just leaving it submerged in water overnight. Then leaving
it to dry for a few days. Fortunately I have a lot of time because I'm
using the old keyboard from one of my original iMacs now so functionally
I'm okay, it's just the colour scheme is a bit awful :)
