Orange Juice Spillage - Sticky Keyboard Keys
Hello there
Being the pillock I am, I swung my chair round to sit down and managed to knock my glass of orange juice over with the arm of the chair. It went all over my Microsoft wireless keyboard.
Now a few of my keys are very stiff. I can pour water over them which fixes the problem for aproximately 4 hours. Then they get stiff again.
Any ideas?
Jezzer

Re: Orange Juice Spillage - Sticky Keyboard Keys
take the keys out, I use a knife and clean under em. Did the same thing once with a beer.
Might wanna open a pic of a qwerty keyboard on the pc if you don't know where all the keys go back 
The one with the most albums when you die, wins

Re: Orange Juice Spillage - Sticky Keyboard Keys
Cheers chaps, I gave it a go and they seem to be unsticked for now. Only time will tell whether it works longer than just pouring water over the keyboard!
