You mentioned several times that your comma key wasn't working on your computer.

If you use a blunt butter knife, gently pry the key off and use a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol to clean it. Then gently pop the key back in.

A lot of my keys are sticking and I am part way through cleaning all the gunk under the keys!!! You will not believe what dust, hair and dirt is under there. I also think the high humidity also factors in this too.

One more thing, don't take all your keys off unless you know exactly where you have to return them in order.

I do the same thing with my mouse. You will be able to clean the gunk off the ball and all the dust off inside too...using a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol. Tedious but it works.

Thanx for the good idea Lilly... but as you can tell my comma button still doesn't work.. Looks like my kitty walked on my keyboard one too many times LOL
I hate shopping with a passion but have no choice but to buy a new keyboard...ugh..

I might have to buy one too. After cleaning my keyboard, all the keys stick and when i type i have to constantly backspace or go back and edit the spelling. My caps lock sticks that i have to hit it so hard that i fear breaking my nails and my n key is the worst.

So what could be the problem? I cleaned it and now they feel like someone had spilled coke over it. damn! now that pisses me off!

I soaked my keyboard with red wine about six month ago. I use my old keyboard since.

Keyboards don't like red wine. White wine could be OK. Don't try it though.

In Pakistan you can buy a new keyboard for about 3-4 US $.
