seriously this might sound weird, but you can safly hose it down with water after you unplug it. you just have to make sure it is totally dry before pluging it back in. I have done it a few times after soda spills.

Unplug the keyboard and use denatured alcohol to clean beneath the keys. Apply it with a paint brush with the keyboard upside down. Work the bristles/alcohol under the keys. Allow the alcohol to evaporate. Repeat the process multiple times. I had to do it with my laptop for the exact same reason.

They oughta outlaw CoffeMate!

I like my keyboards lightly seasoned. I don't know where you buy your keyboards but where I get mine they don't come seasoned you know. Anyway, if I find one I really like I'll usually go back later and buy at least one or two more. That way I can just change them out while cleaning or tossing the old ones.

Time to get a new one anyway, as the letters and numbers which receive the most strikes have worn off.

Notice, boys and girls, that I have no difficulty in typing.

Is it really worth it?............keyboards are less than $10. Just chuck it!

they also make keyboards that are totally rubberized, and can be rolled up. They are sealed, and should be impervious to spills!

Thread title: Sticky keyboard.

Reason: My wife spilled her girly coffee on the keyboard.

Response: Uuuhh huh? OK, I gotcha 😉 that's your story and you're sticking too it (pardon the pun).
