MAJOR keyboard problems?

The chance is high that you successfully broke your keyboard because even when you cleaned it the the fluids still can destroy some stuff.

Synapse is messing up your life....and the left Ctrl key is shorted out.

just take out left ctrl with a nipper and you'll good to go.

Could try this? Try?

press the ctrl key without pressing anymore for more than 10 secs and that should do it :), the same could happen with the shift, and then everything you press is like shift+key...

This happens sometimes if you press a button for a long time, then windows to help you out leaves it on so you dont need to press it anymore :)... maybe when the rootbeer fell on the keyboard it felt like it had the ctrl key pressed for more than 10 secs

your ctrl key is stuck.
ctrl+s opens desktop folder.

just take off the ctrl key and clean under it a little bit, probably some dried sticky root beer there. :)

Probably some fluid is still there or its just sticky.

For the symptoms. Its either still wet or it is sticky. the ctrl key is still pressed.

What ive heard, but never done though. Do the same, but with water, plenty of it (disconnected obviously.) Make sure its properly clean and dry after you attempt to use it again.

Hold down both control keys and both shift keys for about 10 seconds.
