i accidentally dropped strawberry milk on my keyboard. the keyboard is spill proof
the water drained out quickly.but whenever i press enter it turns on caps lock and when i press H it types in 'h8s'. many other keys also do these kind of things or you can say misbehave . what do i do now? do i have to wait ?how much time should i wait? or what should i do to fix it without opening it ? thanks

You have already spilt nasty stuff on it, I'd unplug it, rinse it through with bottled still water to get rid of the sugar and other residue and then leave to dry in a warm place for at least 24Hrs. Water itself won't cause damage as long as it's pure and is dried off properly and obviously not used until properly dry

When it comes to water damage... the sooner you open it and clean it the better for the components. You might get lucky and not have to replace anything.
Buy a gallon or two of distilled water and clean the keyboard using that.

I'll say this again, corrosion can happen in hours of the spill...
