    Take the keyboard apart, clean with a damp cloth, let it dry, put it back together again.

    Is this a wind up with all this dishwasher talk? Lol.
    Nope not a wind up. I've washed keyboards in a bowl of warm soapy water before. Dishwasher may be a bit much due to the higher temps though

    I recall seeing something on a site where it was suggested putting the keyboard in the bath with some washing up liquid and agitating then in clear water - leave to dry and fixed.
     
    Incidently I do have a Windows desktop that someone bought in 2012? did not like it so stuck it in a cupboard when about a momth old. 
    Managed to upgrade to W10 and I use it sometimes - Has 13 USB ports and had to buy a Wifi dongle. Main thing is I can load and burn discs sometimes.
