Keyboard and Beer
      #337935 - Wed Mar 14 2007 12:24 PM

I recently spilt some beer on my keyboard and now have about 4 or 5 slightly sticky keys (the bottom left of the keyboard got the worst of it). I immeditately turned the keyboard over and let the beer drip out overnight. I've removed the keys around the area that got the beer and wiped what I could away as best I could then sprayed some screen cleaner on the sticky keys which helped a lot, but the next day the keys are back to being slitghly sticky again...

Any ideas on how I could sort this?

The keyboard is a Raptor Gaming K1.

Putting it in the dishwasher is a recommended solution.

Not really going to help as I don't have a dishwasher, plus I'd be wary about doing that as there's a USB hub integrated with the keyboard...

In that case, short of dismantling it entirely and cleaning everything inside individually, I'd think you're stuck with it. The sticky bits will be in the places inaccessible from the outside.

Vast quantities of WD40 sprayed into it may do the job, but the keyboard will smell of it for ever so that's not a lot of good.

I did the same thing with coffee, and ended up with a new keyboard.
