Just thought this was worth an update. Today, ten days after this keyboard died under a big splash of water, and refused to work for days afterward, I discovered that it has come back to life. I plugged it into the Mac for a last check before I junked it, and to my surprise found that it works as good as new.
I was going to throw the keyboard away after it got soaked by a spilled glass of water and refused to work (typing on it produced nothing when it was connected to the Mac), but Bruce above advised hanging onto it for a while, in case it was still slowly drying out. Well, I guess it was. When I set it aside I found one of those little moisture-absorbing bags in a drawer, that probably came with a packaged hard drive or something, and I tossed this bag on top of the keyboard in case it might do any good. I don't have any idea whether that little bag had anything to do with the revival--the keyboard is so long and the bag so small that I really doubt it, but who knows? Anyway, the lesson is: if your keyboard dies from getting wet, don't give up on it. It might take ten days for it to dry out enough to come back to life, but it certainly can!
