Hi guys,
Need some help. I have about 5 keys that are now sticky and very slow to return. Can anybody advise how to either clean them or a simple fix? Thanks |

Here's a link with a video part way down that shows pretty much what I've done in the past.

Thanks bro, I will try it... Its only 3 keys and Im stumped as to how the beer got into the actual mechanical part and made them stick. The amount was so small

My pleasure.
One time I turned a keyboard upside down and sprayed it with electrical contact cleaner like CRC and then let it drip dry for awhile. Have it unplugged of course. Have fun. Edited by bprat22 - 27 May 2015 at 9:04am |

Just to be different, I pulled a keyboard apart, and took the top (plastic and keys only! no mechanical parts except springs) and ran it through the dishwasher.
Let it airdry for a few hours and it was fine. |
