I've accidentally flooded my keyboard with pepsi max yesterday and after it dried out, I've noticed that (despite it working flawlessly as a keyboard), the red leds do not work - like, at all.. like, on entire keyboard.
All the lighting settings I can have now is blue, green and anything in between.

I'm considering pouring a bit of clean water on my keyboard and dry it out again - ideas?

You should take it totally apart and clean it properly. It is likely that there is some residue causing a short

I took it apart, but the last part is a big chunk of merged togheter layers that can't be separated.

I've decided to give that piece a hot bath, now it's drying out outside.

 

Obviously the only thing that can go wrong is it stopping to work completely, which I don't mind at this point.
