The quality of these 12 pounds (+vat) keyboards is shit.  Seeing
as the keyboard is the main methods of communicating with your
PC (apart from shouting at it a lot) it definitly working getting a
decent keyboard (try before you buy if possible).  Now that I have gone
totally of the topic, lets get back on it...

As the previous poster has mentioned (and something I have done
myself) just wash the keyboard in with soap and water.  Before you
do this just try one key to make sure the lettering does not come off!
If the problem is with keys that don't work then there may be a 
problem with the contacts (or switches), then you may need to take it 
apart, else don't bother.
