That's awful. Two years ago, I spilled orange juice on my old notebook, and though it dried and still functioned, the keys were forever sticky and would depress and come up very slowly. Since it was a special subnotebook from Japan, I couldn't find a replacement keyboard and I eventually gave up and just bought a new computer. It was 2 years old already, anyway.
If it's just water, maybe it will be okay after it completely dries. Though, if it's just a USB keyboard you can probably get a new one for $10 - $50, huh?
