Liquids and keyboards don't play very well together. If you spilled water in it, there's a chance you might have fried your keyboard. However, you might just have the wrong keyboard layout... go into your computer's settings (on Windows this should be Control Panel) and look for something related to either Language/Region or Keyboard. You should be able to change the layout of your keyboard in there. Try to find one that works for your keyboard. (don't bother trying the layouts for different languages, just try all of the English ones, assuming your keyboard is in English.)
