I have spilled coffee on many keyboards myself. Quite frankly, unless
you have an expensive keyboard, why not just replace it? You can get a
generic KB for less than $10. Even if you have an expensive one, it
might well still be under warranty, in which case I would simply return
it for a replacement. IMHO, the time and effort, not to mention the
mental anguish spent on this venture is not time well spent.

Good Luck, you will probably need it.
