It’s generally fine. Some medical grade keebs are specifically designed to be cleaned in such conditions as well. If you run it just with water and let it fully dry there’s nothing that’s gonna short it, and it should still be enough to remove the gunk and sanitize it.

We know as a species how to do a lot of stuff we don’t normally do because there’s no market. In this particular case you can get one of those keyboards starting at around $100. I wonder how many of them are never washed because the doctor’s office doesn’t have a keyboard dishwasher installed?
That’s…don’t….do not do that

I wouldn’t bank on mechanical key switches to dry out while they’re assembled. A membrane keyboard would probably be fine though.
