It is not very hard to take the keyboard off and fix the keys.  I had
two dead keys that I fixed and now the work great.  Go to
www.kfuenf.org and there is info on how to do it.

It is a bit tricky to take off a key the first time, you kind of have
to slide it and pinch in the sides.  There is a U shaped big metal
spring that can come out but it is very easy to put back in.  After
you take off the key you will see a gray rubber pad.  All you do is
tilt up the pad (I could not take mine all the way off but you don't
need to), and then get a q-tip with electronic cleaner on it and clean
under the pad.  Make sure you use a cleaner that will not hurt rubber.

I have one key that has started to act up so I will need to do this
soon.  I was actually thinking of doing every key (even though the
rest work fine).  I figure it would take about 3-4 hours max to do the
entire keyboard. 

Good luck.
