Well, ok, just a small cluster of keys. The most annoying of which is my shift key.

I spilled some juice on it the other day, and it seems they are all sticky down there. I took some of the keys off, and tried to get it less sticky, and its a little better, but what else could I do?

Its a $100 keyboard, so using a new one really isnt an option.

Nail Polish remover, Use it not Water or Deturgant

Rubbing alcohol is what I use. Evaporates better than acetone (nail polish remover)

About the same cleaning properties though.

Can you detach the entire top frame from the board? Unscrew the screws and lift the top piece entirely away. Should be just plastic that you can clean in the shower. I do that to mine generally once every two years.
