I don't recommend this as the average keyboard is made of keys on top of rubber domes that press into conductive carbon pads on two mylar sheets. Once liquid gets between the two sheets, it is sometimes impossible for it to dry/evaporate out and then you have to disassemble and peel the sheets apart or half your keys won't work or will short with each other.
