Please log in for more thread options maintainence - turn keyboard upside down shake vigourously occasionally tapping firmly to dislodge any dust crumbs or other detritus. wet a cloth and wring out as dry as possible then use to clean the keys. Switch cleaner can unstick keys but a big can costs about the same as a generic keyboard. Derek | ||||||||||||||||

>produt to use? Almost all types of lubrication will act as dust-catchers. Eases typing for a minute, destroys your keyboard forever :-) Use dry air to clean your keyboard. And replace the keyboard if that doesn't solve your problem. -- Kind regards, Gerard Bok | ||||||||||||||||

>produt to use? > What make and model of keyboard is it? On most modern keyboards, keys sticking is a sign of gunk buildup inside. If gunk is built up inside you need to take the keyboard apart, taking the top half off and agitating that in a warm detergent solution, then rinse, shake excess water out and let it dry for a day before reassembly. If you are instead asking about how to tweak a keyboard because you are a high performance typist trying to get the ultimate key action, after cleaning and drying it as described above, use silicon spray lubricant and work the keys in and out a few times while it is wet to work the lube into the needed areas. As another person mentioned already, this will cause gunk to build up faster than if you didn't use anything after cleaning it out, so you would have to clean it again more often. Unless you have a really nice, expensive or rare keyboard it might be worthwhile to just replace it. | ||||||||||||||||
