The keyboard should then be usable, but don't try to plug it in unless you are sure it is thoroughly dry. If the spill was just water, and you don't want to do the alcohol step, you may be able to just wait for the water to evaporate. This can take a signficant amount of time. If the keyboard is older, or cheap, or you don't feel like trying to fix it, just get a new one. Sometimes it may not be possible to get all the liquid out of a keyboard so this may be your best option.
Keyboards are very inexpensive.
