I am glad there is no 13 key.

Hm, do not have a dishwasher. Would it be enough to do it by hand, and dry it in the microwave? (and see below
)

actually... fixing it.. very difficult 7/10. REPLACING it... very easy 2/10.
presuming of course, that you have a replacement keyboard. used? or new? ... depends on the popularity of the make/model. they are practically never interchangable.
if you remove it, wash it, and let it dry very very very very days long thoroughly... you might make whatever was conductively icky in there dilute and wash away.
maybe.
or just price a new one. may be reasonable. If you go this route, you can definitely do the replacement. I've done scores, and you can do it.

To be clear, we're talking about the built-in keyboard on a laptop computer, right? I hadn't thought of replacing that as a whole component. I will look into that.
Then again I might just get a more stable desktop machine. This one is old and slow.
