[QUOTE="rustyk123, post: 1527653, member: 99923"] Yes it is hardware. I have one that does it with shift t, g, and b. The issue is there is only so many lines run for keys in the keyboard, they basically work off combinations to determine which key you pressed. The QAZWSX and Command key all have 1 common line which has been compromised because of the spill either it has become fried or is shorting out. Sometimes it is repairable, but it requires you to completely dissemble the keyboard (some macs you can even do this) to individual parts, clean everything and allow to air dry completely, then repair any damaged wire traces. Honestly, it is some much more worth it to replace the keyboard, I have repaired one successfully, but in the end it had to be replaced because I damaged the A key and it was now sticking. [/QUOTE]
