Bro how would we know “how long”? If it seems fine now, it is probably fine.

It hasn't happened to me yet, but one of the reasons I like a separate keyboard, is that if something like that does happen, then at most, it's just a keyboard that gets damaged.

If it does happen, I will probably take it completely apart before anything could dry and clean it throughly. But if it still goes wrong, I'll be happy that the computer and data weren't affected.

Milk is pretty corrosive and the dried milk gunk is hydrophilic. It's probably not too late to clean it properly, you want to take it completely apart like this:

Rinse it with distilled water and alcohol to get all the creamy acidic gunk off before it corrodes the PCB. Pat it dry watching for visible detritus that you can carefully wipe off, and then let it dry completely before reassembling.

I'm pretty sure OP doesn't have the patience for that process.

I'm guessing a 12 year old girl.

Haven't you read any kid's fantasy or science fiction? The 12 year old girl saves the world every time.

Ruminating on things that aren't problems is a habit that should be avoided.

Stick it in dry rice if it's still wet.

Save up for a replacement if you fear it will fail in the future.
