Works for Diet Coke too. Cool, what is it? I have a seriously messed up mac keyboard that has effectively rendered the computer useless, not the it was particularly useful before

I've done this and it works.
1- Fill your bathtub (or sink) with enough hot water to fully submerge your keyboard.
2- Detach your keyboard and submerge it in the hot water (don't use soap because it leaves a film. Allow it to soak for 30 minutes or so.
3- Swirl the keyboard around to allow any dried coffee, etc. to dissolve and dislodge.
4- Remove keyboard and allow water to drain out.
5- Place the keyboard face down on a bath towel and place in a dry room in the house.
6- Give the keyboard several days to dry out thoroughly.
7- Use your keyboard. If problems persist, repeat the process.
For me it worked great. I was about to throw the keyboard in the trash and thought... couldn't hurt.
