I've removed the keys and cleaned the goo, but it still sticks. :-(

1. Keyboards are cheap.

Get a new one.

I normally don't advocate replacing electronic stuff lightly. It's hell on landfills. But there is no way to get that keyboard completely clean at this point.

4. It's really only one key.

Unfortunately it's the space bar.

2. Drink more beer

It won't matter so much.

6. LOL!

Beat me to it.

Drink until your brain starts sticking, too.

3. You could stick it in the dishwasher..

I have a knit laundry bag I put mine in first. It works well.. You do need to let it dry for a really long time. It works, but, I would go drop the 10$ on a new one.

5. No dishwasher. i have a spare, but i like this one

small, smooth, not too loud.

8. Throw the keyboard in the dishwasher

I suggest you just use the rinse cycle, but what the hey - go for the whole enchilada and let us know how it turns out.

10. If you do put it in the dishwasher...

be sure to LET IT DRY OUT before you re-connect it to the computer.

11. Get some pretzels!

In seriousness, washing the keyboard in the dishwasher would be an easy solution - but not the safest. It'd have to dry COMPLETELY before using again.
