Desktop keyboards can be cleaned in the dishwasher, unheated dry, no soap. If 
all else fails, it would be interesting to try this with a laptop keyboard that 
you were going to throw away. If you did it and then let it dry for a week or 
three, at worst I'd think it would fail to work...

(Obviously you'd want to acquire another in the meantime so your machine isn't 
down!)
