Keyboard not working after spilled water
Please forgive the nature of this basic question, but... My kid spilled a little bit of water on my keyboard and the space bar stopped working. Can it be fixed at a reasonable cost (or fixed at all?), or am I better off buying a new keyboard? I would rather fix it as it was a fairly expensive keyboard and cash is tight…

I built my PC in June 2019 and it has run just fine until recently. In certain games, it will fully shut down within minutes and require flipping the PSU switch to restart.

Weird stability issues: PC shuts down on USB unplug, Headset mic sounds scrambly and robotic
The PC shutdown is a thing that happens very occasionally and mostly from the front USB ports. The headset mic scramble is usually fixed by unplugging and replugging the headset.
