i've done that with many keyboards, taken them apart and cleaned them but only precious few ever managed to fully work again
my advice will be buy a new keyboard or use any keyboard you have they need not be wireless or mac based I use a windows keyboard as my keyboard
I appreciate your reply, and feared this would be the case. What a day, I fell over carrying my coffee, hence over the keyboard. Thank you Rudegar for your quick response. Guess it won't help, buat at the moment keyboard sitting on a bed of rice.
You can normally find fairly reasonable deals for keyboards on e-bay or my favorite OWC (www.macsales.com). OWC sells some used keyboards but they are warrantied, are fully tested and in my experience almost identical to new.
Do not be sad: it could have been much worse: spilling coffee on the built-in keyboard of a MacbookPro...
USB keyboards can be quite cheap, even in normal retail stores.
If you are looking for wireless keyboards, iHome has one that is
almost identical to the Apple wireless keyboard and is cheaper.
Just a quick look, Best Buy has keyboards as low as $10, though not sure how
long one of them would last. Wireless starting around $20.
In the past, I have had pretty good luck with Logitech products.
As far as your rice idea, would probably actually work if it was just
water that was spilled. Coffee will leave something behind after the
water evaporates, especially bad if sugar or cream(er) was in it.
