Sticky keys begone The Logitech K310 washable keyboard

Both the Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 and Dell sk-8115 have two main sections. (I'm sure others are like this, but I only have experience with these two.) The top part is effectively a tray that does a great job at collecting debris and liquid. It's entirely plastic can can be submerged. Under that is the membrane which separates the 2nd part of the keyboard, the electronics.

While this Logitech K310 just allows you to submerge the entire keyboard, anyone with experience cleaning these things will know that simply dunking one in water won't get all the crumbs and hair out. You'll be taking it apart anyway and in that vein the ones on the market now are just fine.

In my experience, most keyboards are washable. You just have to make sure to give them enough time to dry completely. I've washed around a dozen in my lifetime, using a garden hose or shower sprayer, and I've only had issues once. Your mileage may vary.

I've read accounts[0] of people washing their normal keyboards in the dishwasher for years. Put it in the top-rack fully intact then let it air dry for week before using it again.

Most keyboards will withstand a washing just fine.
