If the keyboard was powered on while this happened, you may be PWN3D. I did
this
a few years ago (orange juice, not water) on a keyboard without a touchpad.
The
cure was to soak the keyboard in distilled water overnight, then take all the
keycaps off and let it dry for 2 days. It's worked fine ever since.

Shift+NumLock, not the greatest thing ever, but it will serve. This is one
reason
why I have a spare PS/2 mouse or 2 floating around at all times.

Might not be long enough (though with heat and low humidity, it should've
been.)
