I accidently spilled Coke on to my Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard.  How best to clean it?

I have removed the keys, unscrewed the keyboard and used cotton swabs and 99% IPA  on the switched to try clean them up.  I washed the keycaps with a bowl with warm soapy water and dried them completely before putting them back on,  but some keys are right.


Any suggestions how to best to clean it?

My two go-to's in terms of spill guides are the dedicated one from /r/mk and Paul's Hardware, based on it:

They both go quite in-depth, including a more deep-clean and touching on what to do with lubricants.
