    Cola + keyboard = crap!

    I poured a half beer glass of cola into my old cordless Logitech Keyboard
    After disassembly washing and reassembly it had stuck on the “s” key!
    Probably some cola had stuck between the plastic membranes…
    Because mechanically it was not stuck
    So I got myself a new one and It worked with my old transmitter
    The old transmitter has the numlock, caps lock and scroll lock lights!
    The new ones hasn’t and you have to install Logitech’s buggy software to see if caps lock is on or off etc, etc, etc

    So I now have a new monitor and a new keyboard….

    I wonder what bad luck and clumsiness will replace next for me

    So? Take the keyboard apart again and re-clean the S key.

    Proper keyboard cleaning is an important survival skill when you have a 4 year old

      Hard to clean between two glued sheets of plastic

          No, that is the coke

          Carefully separate the membrane layers and clean both of them in water

          I have cleaned these logitech keyboards multiple times, and the membranes are NOT glued together.

              Dr. Mordrid, Rugger:
              I did as you two told me and after using gasoline (pure) I got the “S” key to work!
              Hopefully the keyboard will be good for another 3 years

                still it's good to know that I can reuse the transmitter that has the lights!

                    Yes, chemically pure gasoline.....

                    Works great to remove most stuff!

                    Don't damage anything and evaporates quickly....
