Thank you all for your great suggestions and ideas!
I’ve reactivated my black Apple Pro Keyboard (M7803), which is the best

I no longer panic when I or a family member spill on a keyboard.
Best action to take is to immediately unplug the keyboard and

It's possible to remove the keys and springs to enable a more thorough

The more modern the (Apple) keyboard, the harder it is to strip it down to

a lot of earlier keyboards that had had spills from a local shop. He found
