Soo yeah this morning I knocked over a cup of coffee which flooded across my keyboard. It still lights up and some keys work but alot dont. Should I get onto newegg and order a new one? Or will the other keys magically work when it dries out completely?

Start > Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Start Onscreen Keyboard
Lol, just kidding. Would be hard as hell to play that way. But if you do need to use your computer that's one way to get around the busted keyboard.

I have found that 2 years of cig ashes and dried spagetti stuck inside the keyboard makes it water proof and the auto attack is awesome when the ramen noodle's solidify in the right way. I also have learned that when im hot in the summer i can pretend it winter but turning it upside down and shaking it, So the moral of this story is the more stuff you actually have jammed in your keyboard the more utility's it can provide when grinding!!

Let it dry for a couple of days. If still no worky... well you know the answer.
I had numerous keyboards dry up and function perfectly afterwards, however I can recall one occasion when it never recovered.

Same thing happened to me a few months back.
For some reason, after 48 hours, some of the keys that were not working started working again, but most of them did not "rework" after a chance to dry.
You may try waiting a little bit, but I had to order a new keyboard.

Yea man let it dry out like cell phones usually work fine as long as u let them dry for 2-3 days before using them.
I have a Logitech keyboard had it over 7 years black and silver one love it man had tea spilled in it ,and been dragged around by my kids and Ive thrown it lights at top still work but are knocked down inside of keyboard for caps lock,num lock ,etc but
All in All great keyboard still works after i let it dry out and just lightly brazed the keys with q-tips and lysol pads.LOL worth a shot if you really like it.

The big problem with spilling something like coffee or soda in a keyboard is that it leaves residue once dry. Washing a keyboard isn't particularly difficult as long as you're careful taking things apart and putting them back together. You just need to make sure it is completely dry before you use it, and that you've washed all the residue off.
