That should work as well, but I was never able to disassemble any part of a keyboard without having the impression that I was breaking it, so I prefer to refrain from any such thing. > Not sure I'm brave enough to try a dishwasher -- do you leave it assembled?

The drying heat can reach temperatures that can be harmful, so you need to be a bit more careful with that (usually the recommendation is to use the top-rack and/or to stop the wash cycle before it dries).
