that all the keys except the big ones like your enter key and shift and space bar pop off right? That way you can clean all the keys fairly easily and clean undersneath as well. Getting them all back on in the correct location is fun. I use Q-Tips and soapy water to clean in between the ones that don't pop off. Also, this particular KB I have I can put in the tub and wash it. Due to mineral content the final rinse is done with distilled water. Don't set the KB in water just get it wet, use a bit of soap and some type of scrubby and go to town on it. The newer KB's can also be placed in the top rack of your dishwasher believe it or not. I haven't tried that one myself but have talked to a fellow techie that does this. *shrug* I believe you would place it keys down as much as possible.
