I'm way too careful about liquids near any PC equipment / gear these days. It only took one microphone falling and landing in a cup of coffee (sounds bizarre, but it happened) and now drinks don't even share the same table with keyboards or laptops anymore

This is definitely tough. I don't know if you are on a laptop or a standard PC desktop, but if you're on desktop, you can often get a serviceable business keyboard from a thrift shop for five dollars or less. There are lots of keyboards out there and hopefully someone can set you up.

@Gerontius it's an apple laptop I HAVE Applecare FOR IT and THE EXTRA protection FOR Spills (I have DYSpraxsia SO IF I CAN BE MORE protected I WILL be) SO I WILL HOpfully GET IT FIXED SOON
Though it sounds more of a case to pragmatically replace your keyboard rather than anyone repairing it.
