Re: New Imac keyboard

Sorry for your misfortune, but actual design of keyboard could be saviour? As it looks and feels if there is not much chance of liquid penetrating surface too much as with powerbook keyboards. Try a good burst of WD40 or some other lubricant of similar purchase, then blast it with air hose
