Seriously though, best bet is putting it in rice and letting it chill for about a day.
I doubt any harm was done since you did not directly spill it on the motherboard lol

First off, the "rice trick" is BS and hence void. Louis Rossman thoroughly explains this: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Louis Rossman is an extremely knowledgeable component level repair technician, and he does youtube commentaries on some of the jobs he takes.

Second, there is no reason to just "give up" and get another computer! I have the newest 2016 MacBook Pro 15" w/touch bar. It's a $2,500 machine. If I spilt water on it or any other kind of fluid, I'd first check if 1. I purchased a full warranty, and 2.) If I have one, use it!

If not, Apple is going to charge you an arm and a leg for water damage repair, likely in excess of $600. If this is too much, I'd suggest seeking out a 3rd party technician. Just ensure they are Apple Certified.

display is working
keyboard / trackpad are not working

I bought a 27 dollar Logitech keyboard and mouse and am using them as a temporary solution. Repairs from apple will most likely be upwards of $800.

I am going to take your advice and seek out a third party technician that is apple certified. If anyone on this site is reputable enough I may send it to them to get it repaired. I will rep anyone that links me to a person of the sort.
