who here has cleaned there keyboards?

I spilt juice in my keyboard a couple nights ago.. and i took it part to clean it.

Now all my keys are harder to push. I tried to oil all the keys with this grease less oil for locks. But that didn't help.

anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

the keys are much harder to push, and if you dont push them straight now they will not move.. eerrrrrrr

this is a wireless keyboard.. so the voltage is not high enough to short circuit the circuit.

there is nothing wrong with any of the keys.. its just hard to push the keys down.

I spilt chocolate milk on one a wile ago, I cleaned it up perfectly but it just did not seem to get un-sticky.

do what i did, go out and buy a new logitech MX cordless duoe its the best keyboard/mouse I have ever felft. worth the $85.

you can pry up the keys (be careful) and whipe underneath. Use a can of pressurized air to dry everything off well.

This may sound really wierd but trust me it works. Put it in your dishwasher. This is no joke! I'm dead serious. Just make sure that you take out the batteries and turn off the auto dry feature of the dish washer and let it dry for a day or open it up and dry it with a blow drier. I did it to this keyboard when my sister in-law spilled her pop all over it. I've done it two more times since and I have no problems whatsoever.
