Yes, I've heard that before, but I have never tried it.
But since it's not a matter of individual keys getting stuck, I don't
think the problem is caused by stuff collecting under the key caps.
What seems to be happening is that I am a rather 'energetic' typist, and
those keyboards were never designed to cope with intensive typing in the
first place. As a result, after a few months' use, the little rubber
nipples that are meant to push the keys back up when they are released
start wearing out and lose their elasticity.
Thanks,
CJ
