Beer, coffee, orange juice are all keyboard killers. For the relative hassle of taking the keyboard apart and then removing all of the keys individually, before cleaning....I would simply buy a new one

I have seen sites where people disassemble them-- and then ran 'em through the dishwasher... and I thought "for under $40" ??

Well, I 'spose I'll try prying off the sticky keys and try to wipe 'em off...
Wish me luck!

I don't think the whole dishwasher thing sounds like a great idea. I'll check out that link, though, even if just for kicks.
