So, I've totally ruined my K70 RGB Keyboard and Logitech G9x mouse by pouring a full pint of cola over them

 

Have tried drying out both, but whilst the mouse works to a point, it seemingly ghost scrolls through spreadsheets without any input from me.

 

The keyboard is now flicking through random colours as if buttons are being pressed, but nothing coming up on screen.

 

Two questions, 1st any more suggestions on how to fix the problems, 2nd, any suggestions on replacements? 

 

Mike.

Just buy new of what you had unless you mean to find something even better. K70 is already one of the top of the line models out there tho.
