Re: well I'm an idiot and screwed
YIPEE! My p key has returned! I think she just needed a little bit of time and maybe that small clean yesterday helped.
Once again thanks guys. If any future problems arise, I'll end up buying a new keyboard and simply replacing it out.
Once again thanks.

You're welcome. Yeah, the goo probably evaporated enough to allow contact to be made again.

Re: well I'm an idiot and screwed
Nvm its gone again. I woke up this morning and jumped on my computer and tried to type something and it wasnt working again. The thing is the key itself felt weird. I might take the keyboard out again and see if theres anything up. Im tired of using ctrl+v for all of my ps.
Ok this is strange. When I pressed the + button this comes up:
+ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp I stopped it there. Yeah might just be time to buy a new keyboard.

Re: well I'm an idiot and screwed
Did you ever end up doing a full flush cleaning, or just a little wipe down?

I think a new keyboard is the best bet. 20 dollars on the ASUS eStore, if you can find one for your model.

Re: well I'm an idiot and screwed
Yup, just let it try for a while before reinstalling. Also before you install you can do a last minute insurance drying with a hair dryer with the no temp setting. I think the "style trigger" with low temp could also work, but keep it away from the keyboard to prevent temp issues.

Re: well I'm an idiot and screwed
It can take a very very long time for electronics to clean out. As long as you never had them in operation while they were wet tho a little spill almost never does permanent damage.
If you still have some moisture in there that can be shorting out the key and causing intermittent failure.
Depending on how intricate the keyboard is, it may never dry out completely on its own. I would use more rubbing alcohol than water to clean since it evaporates rather easily.

Re: well I'm an idiot and screwed
Alcohol is a good choice for cleaning as it also does help evaporate water. However, it can also remove non-corrosive coatings and lubricants. I'm not sure if the G1's has any dielectric type grease that would be effected.
