   Sure; I've given whole keyboards a soak in deionized water ,with a little   
   alcohol and/or a drop or three of PhotoFlo or similar wetting agent.  It   
   worked.   
      
   A day or so, with some agitation and pressing of keys, then remove, let drain,   
   and    
   air-dry for a week before you try it.   
      
   Pull keycaps off, and remove casing and cords if possible, first.   
      
   On buckling-key keyboards this is all OK; on membrane keyboards, though,   
   the water wicks into the sandwich layers and never comes out.
