No seriously what you should do is put your keyboard in the bath dub to soak for a while, then put it in the microwave. Don’t worry, the sparks wont hurt. Then give it to a Gypsie family and let it see the world for a while. When they bring it back (which they will, by the way), bury it underground with some cabbage. Well I’m sure about that, but it makes cabbage taste good. Anyway, plug it in in about a year and see if that works.

Take kumputer outside

It's not necessary to take all that stuff outside when a simple rinse of the keyboard under the kitchen sink will do.

You should probably get together with this guy and share your experiences:

I've had that happen with older keyboards, could be a few things. Could be dirty. Someone mentioned compressed air that might help. I've had success with some by taking them apart (if you feel like it and have a small phillips head handy) and cleaning the plastic sheet underneath the keys where the circuits run with alcohol. Coffee, lint, all kinds of stuff gets in there after a while....

And if that doesn’t work I’m sure the reason is that you didn’t bury it underground long enough, or you at the cabbage too soon. So try again.

Bad acting keyboard?
1) if wireless, change the battery
2) re-install the drivers
3) buy a new keyboard (about $30)
4) do what I do, unplug it from the computer, take it to the sink; hose it down with lots of water; scrub it with warm soap and water; rinse it thoroughly; dry it out (this may take overnight); plug it back in and it works like a new board. It’s amazing the electronic problems that cookie crumbs and beverage drips can cause.

It’s probably better to leave it plugged in because it’s much easier to let the smoke out of the computer chips that way.

A few years ago, I decided to clean my PC keyboard internals.

It took a while, but I learned to like the new keyboard.

A while later, I decided to clean my PC mouse internals.

It took a while, but I learned to like the new mouse.

It is cheaper to replace them, once they start causing problems.

Turn it upside down and slam it on a hard surface a few times to clean it out. It should be fine. This works for me, anyway.
