Keyboard is messed up

[Speevy]

so I spilled some water on my keyboard and now it's gone bonkers.

Half the keys either don't work, have extra characters associated with them, or are pressing by themselves.

It's a wireless keyboard, tried turning it off and on, drying it, changing the batteries, nothing.

Can't be too bad, your OP is fine.

 

[PRed]

It's probably time you get a new keyboard. Water damage is usually not covered by warranty

 

[Speevy]

Typed this on phone. My keyboard is just fucking with me. Every key I press opens up something I didn't ask for or types a comma or something.

This is why bought a waterproof keyboard 8 years ago and it is still killing it. Run it through the dishwasher a couple times a year.

Sounds like you need to buy a big bag of rice.

Let it sit for a week and then come back.

Try laying it, keys down, on a towel for 24 hours. Even better if you can take it apart and dry off all the parts before you do that.

time for a new keyboard? You can even buy one at Walgreens. But also put it in a giant bag or bin of rice just in case 🤷‍♀️

You put your keyboard in the dishwasher?

 

[Steel]

Could try the rice bag trick. Buuuutttt, yeah, it's probably toast.

 

[Septimus Prime]

Yeah, you probably should be using it if you want to try to dry it out.
