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.

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.

water, unplug it, wash it, DRY IT AMAZINGLY WELL, then plug it back in

Its wireless, but I could take the batteries out and turn it off.

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.

Take the keys out and lay them into the patten them out in and get some nail polish remover and Clean ya keyboard, i clean my every month, its a $250 Custom build keyboard.
