Take off all the keys
Clean
And then replace in whatever order you want  
Even better to do it to someone else

Confused but excited.

Mine usually involves;
Spill a pint of beer on carefully onto the (wireless) keyboard so it's just about floating.
Take it into the kitchen and run it under the hot tap.
Let it dry for a while then test it. Realise all the keys are coming out wrong and let it dry some more.
After about two weeks repeat the process.

stop watching porn on the net or grab the tissue faster Alex!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

binning it.

leave it in a state of awesome manliness
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

With my older keyboard, I just removed the electronics and soaked the keyboard in a bucket of soapy water. Don't know if it's still
possible with the new keyboards.

As a locost version I have got a leaf hoover with a blow mode... that would shift the dust!

As I posted above. Mine has survived at least three such drownings.

Unless its a laptop keyboard just tilt it so all the cr@p falls out, an opened-out paperclip to scoop it all helps too
