ROFL ::wipes tears of mirth:: Ummm, seriously folks... Most keyboards these days are layers of plastic sheeting with a little carbon at vital spots, and what worked just a few years ago doesn't work at all any more. If you want to clean key surfaces, a cloth impregnated with the cleaner for dry-erase marker boards (mostly butyl alcohol) will take off the stains. If you need to remove crumbs, then a small battery-powered vacuum works or if you pop off the keycaps and invert the board.... But a close encounter of the sugared or phosphoric acid kind is doom for modern keyboards. Civileme
