Have something cursed, because I beer'd my laptop and it made the keyboard sticky. I'm too lazy to take it apart entirely just to fix the keyboard, so I'm just dousing it in distilled water :drgn_3c_evil:
It'll be fine.. Probably. Likely. Hopefully. Only one way to find out and that's Science! :bongo:
It seems completely dry, but I'm gonna heat it up a bit with some benchmarks to get the last bits out that may be stuck under chips and such; the biggest danger is galvanic corrosion over time if there's still some water in there (altho distilled water should be very high impedance)
5 days later, still fine :drgn_sparkle: I think I'm gonna call it a win.
Would I RECOMMEND dousing your laptop in distilled water to fix sticky keys? Probably not, unless you know you can get it completely dry, or know how to take it apart, and understand the implications of doing this.
Does it WORK? The science says yes! :bongo:
edit: a slightly safer option could be isopropylalcohol, but that can also mess with some plastics so YMMV, in either case, caveat emptor
