Everything works fine. My problem is that the keys on the keyboard are
starting to 'stick' because of years of dirt. Blowing it out with air
does not work.

I'd like to take the keyboard case off and 'pop' off the keys. Wash
them and then put the whole thing back together. Question - what kind
of lubricant do I use on the keys (graphite?) and where can I buy it.
I have all the chain stores in my area.

I know that I can just buy a new one and be done with it, but I want
to 'play'. If I do wind-up buying a new one - Should I buy a new combo
of mouse/key? Or should I just buy a keyboard? And will the Logitech
combo antenna that I have now get along with just a new keyboard? Just
curious..

Thanks, in advance.

Undo the screws and have a look inside. Some keyboards encourage
disassembly. I had one expensive one, where you could only remove
the cover, and the rest of it used steel rivets to hold it
together. On that one, all I could do, is vacuum out the crumbs.

As for lubricants, I wouldn't if I were you. Graphite is a
conductor. And oil is a "dirt magnet". If you clean it, don't put
anything on it, and see how it sounds.
