Found the answer. Simple fix. I just Step 3 with a table knife. (Turn off the computer first).

Step 6: Wash area under key Wash the area under the key with a cotton swab dipped in vinegar.

I’ll try that
Vinegar? heck no! use 90+% rubbing alcohol. Vinegar will end up getting onto the clicky pads and corroding them if any of the covers are breached..
Best way to do it right once is open the keyboard, take the rubbery pad cover off and clean the contacts with Q-tip dipped in alcohol and then the undersides of the keys.
I’m gonna try it on an old one, but probably the fastest way is to just hold it sideways and hose it down with a half can of hexane brake cleaner (NOT the chlorinated good stuff, that will probably dissolve the keyboard!). I’ll report back from the Leon and Jeeter redneck laboratory on that, oh, and hold my beer...
