I cleaned my keyboard with a moist cloth that was perhaps too moist. Now my right shift key doesn't trigger up anymore. If I press the right arrow it triggers up and I can type normally again. Is it possible to replace the keyboard?
I had a bit more issues, but those cleared up after a night of running cinebench. But the shift key issue remains after a few days.
Is this a good question?

See if a hair dryer at low heat can help dry out the wet.
I try to stick with isopropyl alcohol 90% being the best as the lower quality tend to have impurities which you don't really want that can effect the plastics and leave junk behind.
Water is also good, but you need to be careful! You only want to use distilled as that's straight H2O no minerals or salts which can harm your computer's electronics.
As to replacing the keyboard, Apple does not make it easy! They only replace the entire uppercase assembly which is costly! Some independent shops will replace the keyboard alone but the workmanship then becomes the risk as some techs can be a bit hard on the system as you literally need to rip out the keyboard! As it's riveted to the uppercase.
Hopefully the dryer solves your plight !
