Definitely a good idea, since it's easy to do and can solve the problem
(depending on the problem's origin, obviously).

Another thing you can do is to *wash* it. E.g. in a dishwasher.
It may sound odd/scary but it works really well.
Just make sure the keyboard is *really* dry before plugging it back in
(and try to avoid the dry-cycle since it can be too hot (especially if
you use the lower-rack)). Your favorite search engine may give you
other tips about this practice.
