LOLOL....I didn't tell my husband until I waited a few hours & figured it must be OK cause it worked.

But he discovered tonight the keys are sticking...

“I thought of the hairdryer, but was afraid to do it.”

I used to repair computers for a living and some of the keyboards people used to bring me were a stick, yukky mess.

The easiest way I found to clean them was to put them in the sink and house them down and scrub them with a brush and dish soap and then rinse.

Let them sit and drain and then BLOW DRY them before plugging them back in and using them.

Worked like a charm.

jedward, I thought of the hairdryer, but was afraid to do it.

I've killed quite a few keyboards. If it was straight coffee (no sugar, no cream), you should be okay. A hairdryer on cool should help. But there is a layer of plastic film on the whole base of the keyboard so you shouldn't use (hot)heat on it. Or... you could just let it dry on it's own.

In my case, I dumped a mocha latte. There wasn't much hope. I tried rinsing it out (even dunked the darn thing in the bathtub as a last resort, lol. Now I keep a couple keyboards handy as backup. :-)
