Dropped a switch in my coffee and lived to tell the tale

I was lubing switches at my desk in the living room Tuesday night and knocked an Aqua King straight into my mug. Had to fish it out quick, dry it with a hair dryer, and let it sit in rice for a few hours. Worked fine after I cleaned the contacts with some 99% isopropyl. Has anyone else accidentally waterlogged a switch and managed to save it?

Lubing switches at my desk in the living room" - honest question, why not use a tray or something? I mean, I know accidents happen, but that's like asking for trouble with an open cup right next to your keyboard parts.

Seems like everyone these days lives on the edge with their hobbies, I swear.
