Perhaps my problem is evidet by my message here.

Sometimes you can carefully pop off the offending keys using a popcicle stick or the end of a butter knife. Clean underneath well using a Q-tip that is just a little wet. This will help if there is something sticky under the keys.
Of course shut the system down and unplug the keyboard before doing this. Sometimes it is just easier to buy a new keyboard, although we've been babying one of the old MS Natural ones. The old ones had props under the wrist rest so you could raise the front. The new ones don't have this.

It sounds pretty good sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells", too.
Try isopropyl alcohol on the Q-tip. A fold of a paper towel on the edge of a small blade will sometimes get into the crevices. It is a painstaking task.
