The keys are attached in slightly different ways on each type of keyboard, so removing them will be different on each type. Most keyboards include a key puller that will remove individual key caps off of the keyboard.
Don't remove all the keys at once, as you may have trouble remembering where they all go. Don't do more than a couple at one time. Carefully wipe the inside of the button and the slot from which it was removed. Clear out any obstructions or crumbs that are jamming the key or the hinges underneath. You can use tweezers or toothpicks to help. Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean off any sticky areas. Be sure not to have so much alcohol on the swab that it drips.
Let the key and keyboard fully dry. You don't want to leave any liquid underneath the keys, even rubbing alcohol. Insert the keys back into their original places.
Gently press the key down. It should snap back into place. Check your keys. They should be unstuck now. If not, you may need to take it into someone who repairs computers. Method 5. Pop off the key that isn't working properly. Pop off a working key and place the working key into the problem key position. For example, place the working 'S' key into the 'A' key position. If the 'S' key works while in the A spot, this means that the problem is with the actual A key and not the membrane or mechanical switch.
Compare the problem key with the working key and look for inconsistencies. In some cases there's a ridge that fits into a slot, if the ridge has a bump in it, this can be fixed with a knife or scissors, run the sharp edge along the ridge back and forth to smooth out the ridge and try the key again. Order replacement keys online or through manufacturer if necessary. Or, if that's not possible, another option is to find a very cheap, broken keyboard of the same model i. That way you can salvage keys from the cheap, broken keyboard to use in your working keyboard.

If you have done that and the key still doesn't work, then you definitely need to replace the entire keyboard if you want to be able to use that key. Yes No. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 3.

The sticky residue can be very difficult to remove and may require you to pull keys off the keyboard and clean underneath them with rubbing alcohol. Make sure the connection between the keyboard and computer is not loose by disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard.
When disconnecting, keep these suggestions in mind. As keyboards get used and wear down over time, some of the keys can begin to stick during a keystroke. Sometimes it's a physical sticking, where the keys don't release back to their normal position after you press them, causing the keyboard to repeat those keys.
Other times the keys may release back to their normal position, but the circuit board in the keyboard may be sticking, causing the keys to be repeated. When this occurs, it usually is a sign that you need to replace the keyboard. A software program may have a bug or glitch that is causing one or more keys to repeat. It may not be a fault of the keyboard, but rather the software's receiving and interpretation of the inputs from the keyboard.
Restarting the computer may resolve this issue.
