Keyboard malfunctioning

Never had this issue before today, but my Corsair strafe RGB has recently started pressing keys on it's own when I'm clearly not. I spilled a tiny bit of water on my caps lock, right control, and right shift keys earlier, and that seems to have started these issues that I'm having. I also dropped a book that I got on part of it and those keys seem to be registering on their own as well.

Is this problem fixable, or is my keyboard just useless at this point? I've had it for about a year or so now and would like to be able to continue using it since it's got the cherry mx silent switches that we're exclusive to it when it was released

define tiny bit of water

i've spilled entire glasses of orange juice on my keyboard before and honestly all i did was wash it completely so nothing would stick and just let it airdry for a shitton of time, and it still works perfectly. honestly if you disconnect it and leave it out overnight to dry and you still find things glitching you could try the whole dunk it rice thing to make sure it's dried out completely.

book dropping i'm not so sure :/

Something like this happened to me just yesterday when i cleaned my keycaps and left droplets of water on the stems. Unplugging it and leaving it overnight fixed it.

Tiny bit of water in this case equates to a couple of decently sized drops

Still I'll try leaving it unplugged overnight and seeing how it works tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions

Edit: things seem to be much better now.Thanks for the help and suggestions again
