Sticky Keys

HI! At times, when I depress the "Shift" key, it stays depressed. Any
way to clean it? I tried air but no help.

Steve: Your an early bird also
I tried taking it in the shower with me- never thought about the dishwasher

--???or is it a mispell. Are you saying to actually
pour water into the keys?

Morning Joeskys...

I deal with sticky keyboards on a weekly basis and the best way I found is to pop the keys off one at a time by prying it STRAIGHT UP with a small screwdriver until they pop off. I would leave the Space Bar alone as it is a tricky one (easy to remove...hard to put back) so if this "key" is not the culprit then leave it installed. Take the keys you removed and place them in a container with mild soapy warm water and let them soak for a bit. I then use "Canned Air" and lightly blow air and down the key tubes. I then use an old tooth brush and scrub the keys, dry them, then reinstall back in the keyboard (they pop right back in). There you go "squeaky clean ". This method works for me at work and at home.

As Steve said you can also buy a new keyboard for a really cheap price.
