I spilt coffee all over my keyboard this morning and it’s all sticky, since it didn’t break can I just pour water on it to help the stickiness?

I know that sounds like a stupid ass question. I have the Logitech wireless mx keys. I wiped the keyboard down so the surface of the keys aren’t sticky, just hard to press down and some have a spasm.

Since a whole ass thing of coffee did not short it, it gives some credibility that it is water resistant. Can I just dump water on it to help it?

LTT did a video of putting various keyboards through a dishwasher. Surprisingly, a lot of them functioned perfectly well.

It’s not something I’d recommend, but I figured I’d throw the [bad] idea out there.
