Thank you so much! I had never done this before and was very confused by the retaining bar.
I’ve had this keyboard since it was released and it just recently started having key sticking issues, so I opted to follow this guide and was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. Thank you for this and I hope to get another 15 years out of it.
Suggestions:
1) Instead of manually cleaning, put the keys into a clear mesh bag and into the dish washer or washing machine.
2) Spray metal retainer bars with WD-40 and wipe off to help further prevent rust.
3) Let the keys and caddies sun dry for the day to ensure they do not retain any water after cleaning.
great guide.
