I have a black Dell keyboard I'm using with my desktop PC. It was getting grungy, so I opened it, removed everything, washed the plastic case in the dishwasher, and reassembled everything.
They keys now seem to get slightly "hung up" when pressing them, like the sliders beneath the keys are dry, maybe got them a bit too clean. Just used regular dishwasher cycle and no drying heat on the top rack. I rinsed it real well after cleaning, didn't see any residue. But I really have to press firmly to type, Dell KB's usually are quite light and smooth.
What would be a good lube to smooth this up? I would open the case and spray beneath the keys, then wipe off the excess, I guess. It's a decent KB, but this is a real PITA!
