I have to say I'm impressed with the Logitech keyboard I got awhile back. Got it as part of a wireless combo.
Spilled a good 1/4 cup of coffee (with sugar, no doubt) right in it. Thought that would have been "it" for the keyboard, but NO. Not at all! The engineers at Logitech did their homework. The design is such that I took it apart, and was surprised to see that the part that I needed to clean was all in one piece and pretty much separate from the more "delicate" components inside.
Took the whole top part, that had all of the keys (well, actually the "plunger" parts.. the actual switches were well protected on the bottom), filled the bathtub with hot water up to about 4 inches deep, and let it soak in there for about 10 to 15 minutes. Worked the key plungers a few times to clear out the dried coffee muck.
Took it out of the tub.. shot it with compressed air to clear the majority of the water out then let it dry for an hour. Put it back together, and walla.. good as new!
Very good design... old keyboards would have had that muck sink right into the switches within seconds of the spill, and it would have been most certainly time to get a new one.
