My 10 year old daughter (honestly - it wasn't me) spilled around half a pint of orange juice on our wireless keyboard earlier. It was immediately turned upside down and later wiped clean with a damp cloth.

To my amazement it is still working faultlessly. Am I:

a) incredibly lucky
b) in the presence of an indestructable keyboard
c) likely to wake up tomorrow morning and find all the keys stuck?

Any suggestions welcome.

Probably a combo of A and C. You are lucky it works now. But downthe road you will probably have issues with sticky keys.

Orange juice is also corrosive over time. I doubt you have got away with this...As posted here, a strip down and clean will help, but it may very well be that you end up having to replace the KB...Not the child..;D

It may help but alas sticky liquids + electronics = death.
