I apparently can not be trusted to drink near my computer. The other day, I spilled slightly less than half a bottle of Honey Wheat Ale on my keyboard. I tried to clean it up as best I could, and thought I did a pretty good job. Until the next day. That's when I found several of my keys were crazy sticky. The 'i' sometimes needs a minute to come back up after I touch it. I know I could just go buy a new one, but I don't really want to spend the money if I don't have to.
You could steal one from the public library. You could post a free wanted ad on craigslist. You could run the sticky keyboard under hot water for a short time and hope it doesn't ruin the thing. I could GIVE you one of the extra's I have laying around if you are willing to pay the shipping. I don't know how that voice recognition software works for computers, but perhaps that could be an option? You could break down, if all else fails, and spend the whopping 15.00 on a new one.

I believe you LS. I have sprayed the keyboards at work with brake cleaner and they survive it. Blew them off with an air hose and they worked for awhile till the got silica in them again.

Dishwasher is much faster and requires much less work.

Place the keyboard face down in the dishwasher and just run it on a normal cycle and let it dry completely.
Plug it back in and it will be as good as new.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE. IT WILL WORK.
Exactly what I was going to suggest. As long as it's not a wireless keyboard, you're fine.
