Oh boy! You got a mess! Apple won't fix that either! The newer MacBook Pro's keyboard are even harder to replace.
As hard as it is to hear you really need to get a new system. Do you have any insurance which you can claim?
Here's a bit more on the defective 2016/2017 MacBook Pro keyboards: We need to talk about failing keyboards on these new Macbooks

They cleaned the system. The issue is only with the keyboard, thankfully nothing else got damaged.
Do you have any information about replacing my system from Apple and pay the difference?
Internally there are markers which Apple will inspect. Apple won't work on liquid damaged systems. It won't cost you anything giving it a try all they can say is no. Best to visit an Apple Store.
Sorry, Apple doesn't offer any exchange program, only a recycle service which won't very much. That's why I had asked if you had any insurance coverage (home owners).
I don't have any insurance for home owners.
But Thank you for all the help you offered.
I now have two options available:
-Order keys and fix that myself. (Cost 161$)
-Authorized Service Provider Offered my replacement for-keyboard (Battery , speakers, trackpad ,keyboard ) for the cost of 624.14$ around that price.
You did look over Louis' vid? So far the newer butterfly keyboards being offered in China are not that good. So you're getting the junk Apple won't take (2nd's and worse). You can't really replace the key caps to fix this as the coke went into the membrane switch unit which is on the other side. Thats why you need to rip out the keyboard from the inside and mount a replacement. This is not an easy task!
I would let the service provider fix this.
Yeah 600$ is better than whole system, going through that option, but backing up my system first
I watched the video and i just learned how serious is the problem.
