My keyboard is acting weirdly

After I spilled some drink on my keyboard, it started acting very weirdly.
I own the G410 tenkeyless from Logitech.
When I plug it in, at first it seems okay. After a couple minutes, a weird glitch happens.
It's acting like CAPS LOCK is on, which is not the case. (can negate this by turning on caps lock for real).
Then sometimes it spams the button with this sign "| ". Additionally, I am unable to use the Enter and Escape button. Everytime I click on something in a browser, it automatically opens a new tab.

The odd thing about this is, that some of the problems seem to stay even when switching to a second keyboard. Only a reboot using the second keyboard will remove all the problems.

I've tried cleaning the keys that in my opinion are causing the problem, though I don't see anything conspicuous. I also let it dry, to no effect.
I suppose it's broken and I have to get a new one, but maybe someone here knows a fix.
Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Whatever you can use to get the liquid off, like a paper towel or something, depending on what was spilled inside of it you may need to use something like deinoized water to clean it.

Well I have nothing to lose anyway, cause it's unusable in this state. I will just try my best using YouTube I guess.
Would you clean it with compressed air or cotton swabs?
