    go with a different brand cd burner for external. carefully take the keys off to clean the top of keyboard but write down location of all keys before you do take them off. might have to take keyboard apart if soda got inside

    LOL, take a photograph................

    Yes, I think it would be wise to open up the keyboard and strip it down and give it a really good rinse off.
    Soda can be VERY corrosive to the internal membrane in keyboards........

    You can also try using WD40 spray under the keys, (lightly,) and then blow off ALL excess moisture outside preferably. Then spray under the keys, (lightly,) silicon spray. Again blow dry using cool air with a final wipe dry.

    If this doesn’t work, then at least you might have a very stylish keyboard with a new “due.” <G>
