I accidently spilled some water to the left side of the kedboard and now some keys dont seem to be working as it is or just completely broken.

For example,
My left control key is now “re-mapped” to right click and adjusting the LED brightness instead of being control.

I still have my warranty but im trying to avoid it as i want to try fix it myself.
Anyone can help?

Did you make sure the keyboard's internals were completely dry before plugging it in after the spill? If you kept using the keyboard after the spill, there's a high probability that some of the circuitry is permanently damaged.

This is also not typically something that will be covered by warranty unless you got some kind of supplementary accident coverage. The typical warranty covers manufacturer defect, not things you do.

When did this happen? If it just happened recently, then there's probably still moisture in the keyboard that could be shorting connections between keys. If you unplug the keyboard and allow it to dry out properly for a few days or so, it's possible that it might work again. You might want to carefully open the keyboard's case to expedite the drying process. A quick search turned this tutorial on how to disassemble it...

You probably shouldn't undo any of the ribbon cables to avoid damaging them though. Be careful with them at least, as they tend to be fragile.
