Hi guys,

Need some help. I have about 5 keys that are now sticky and very slow to return. Can anybody advise how to either clean them or a simple fix?

Thanks

Here's a link with a video part way down that shows pretty much what I've done in the past.

Basically, pull the keys and wipe everything down with alcohol, no not whiskey Hahaha, and hope for the best.    

Good Luck. Big%20Smile

My pleasure. Big%20Smile

One time I turned a keyboard upside down and sprayed it with electrical contact cleaner like CRC and then let it drip dry for awhile.  
 Have it unplugged of course. 
Have fun.

Just to be different, I pulled a keyboard apart, and took the top (plastic and keys only! no mechanical parts except springs) and ran it through the dishwasher.

Let it airdry for a few hours and it was fine.
