My "s" key was sticking yesterday and I finally got tired of sticky keys. I disassembled the keyboard (removed the plastic housing) and removed all the key caps. I soaked the keycaps in soapy water to clean them. I ran down to Radio Shack and purchased "TV Tuner/Control Cleaner & Lubricant" Can No. 64-2315. I sprayed this into all of the keyboard switches. Not only were the sticky keys cured, but also the keyboard has a much smoother better feel. One thing to be careful about is that the can seems to be quite pressurized. So when you squirt it into the key switches (using the plastic tube) hold a paper towel or something around the hose to block any spray. Otherwise, it might spray out of the switch right into your eyes. -Erik
