I once cleaned a Wyse-75 keyboard with Sammy Adams.  It never was the
same again either.  ;-)

Even the subsequent washings with tap water didn't help.  Some keys
stayed electrically dirty.  Perhaps one day I'll try to inject some
Cramolin into the really bouncy switches (and watch them stop working
all together).
