Help with water damaged Pok3r- multiple keypresses for one keystroke

I spilled a very small amount of soda from an almost empty can on my desk while digging around in some wiring. Some of it got on the bottom right corner of my vortex pok3r and now I think it's dead. I did the whole "keyboard spill guide" and even did an alcohol bath to no avail. The left half of my keys function normally, but most of the right side are giving me several presses (different keys) when I press only one key. I took everything apart and cant find any obvious trace or circuit board damage. Is it likely to be as simple as replacing switches? Did I brick this thing? Help!
I PRESSED APOSTROPHE
I PRESSED ENTER
I PRESSED K
I PRESSED O
I PRESSED SEMICOLON

You're basically experiencing ghosting, it might be a sign that diodes have been damaged. Those are, of course, replaceable.

Just an update for future searchers. Turned out the soda had left a tiny amount of residue that I almost didn't notice, jumping two small connections. A q tip and some alcohol made it good as new.
