    So recently some of the keys in my keyboard have become increasingly hard to work. Ok I knew about the spacebar issue with these models, but now also other keys need to be pressed multiple times or harder, for example enter and tab, it's irritating.

    I see I can get a replacement keyboard online from those chinese websites for 15-20 shipped, but I see that to remove the keyboard is a heck of a work.

    Is there a way to restore some of the smoothness of the keys by cleaning or in any other way? The keys are not that easy to remove and they break easily and I there is really not that much to clean. What do you guys suggest?
