Re:How are they hard to clean? (Score 1)

Nope, dead serious. Most plain old keyboards are capacitive key, they have no sensitive electronics in it. Use the standard setting on the dishwasher, turn off heat dry. Let it dry for a few hours after washing and it should work fine and be squeaky clean. I've done this myself a few times when I get some old equipment. Haven't lost one yet, maybe I've just been lucky.
