Applecare is not insurance.

But then, Apple now and again takes pity on people and replaces stuff when it's clearly not covered under warranty. if you expect a free replacement just hope that you get someone in a good mood

There are LSI's (Liquid Spill Indicators) in the keyboards so if they bother to check they can see if it's had a liquid spill, even if you do a good job of cleaning up any visible stains.

You have lots of alternatives:

- Apple will probably replace your keyboard for free. I stepped on my apple mouse and broke it about 1 month after owning one and the Apple store replaced it free. (They also gave me free out of warranty support once on another issue)

- If you need a keyboard in a hurry you can plug any USB keyboard, even a PC Keyboard, into it. It works nicely. And you can even have 2 keyboards connected at the same time. (I have my Apple wireless keyboard AND an old IBM Clicky keyboard from 1985 which I love - they work perfectly together)

- If you have another computer on your network you can still control your Mac. Get http://synergy-foss.org/. I think there's a way to do this via the new Lion OS/X too but I don't know how.

Apple Rocks.
