*hopeful*

I don't suppose any of my wonderful friends have a spare keyboard they want to be rid of at a moderate price????

I (stupidly, moronically, with my typical display of poor judgment) spilled almost an entire instant cappuccinno (how the hell do you spell that, anyway?) on my keyboard last night. I drained it out as fast as I could and dabbed as much as possible from the keys... but it shows signs of still being too sticky to use. Although the good news is that it's getting a lot better as I use it. So maybe this isn't quite the crisis that I thought it was and I really just need to sit around for a while and practice my typing, using all the keys in succession, not just the alphabet ones (which now seem to be mostly unstuck). One of the shift keys is a bit sticky still, though..... damn.

The other good news is that my keyboard smells wonderful... which I guess is a small consolation.

Not sure about bathing the *entire* keyboard, but I once managed to pry all the keys off my keyboard with a butter knife. Most of them just snap on and off, but keys like enter and space have little metal bars inside that make it a bit trickier. After I got them off, I washed them in a bucket of dish soap and let them dry in a towel, snapped them back on, and my keyboard worked fine.

If you can't fix yours, or find somebody with a replacement, you can pick up a perfectly good keyboard at Big/Lots for around ten bucks, if I recall correctly.
