I would take the keyboard apart and look for damage the tea could have caused. I'm assuming it would have bridged a connection so it could be as simple as cleaning it up with isopropyl alcohol.

 Sooo i spilt a glass tea (Very small amount) and some of it went into my keyboard i grabbed a towel and wiped my keyboard going willy nilly with it.

Now whenever i press it types a random amount of something gibberish like

iop[]\eqw then it messes with my LEDs on my keyboard

is there something so that i can remap my keyboard

 

sorry for un-capital letters i have to copy and paste the i so it doesn't mess it up

Hope I could help!

First dry your keyboard.

Second update the firmware.

Third go here:

Thank you two very much! Both of the answers helped me it must have just been a little connection made by the tea, thank you both very much! I was quite scared :/

Hope I could help!

Please dont take your keyboard apart. It is very likely you won't be able to put it back together if you don't have previous experience doing this. Just let it dry somewhere warm, maybe use a blow dryer on it lightly.
