My N key keeps sticking.  Do you know how hard it it to type the name Jonathon over and over again, when your N key is sticking?

if it's not typing i'd suggest either sitting the keybpard on its side for a few hours to drop crumbs loose (beware they may end up in other keys) or use a normal household hoover to clean it out. it won't suck the keys off, but has enough power to get out whatever is blocking it. i've used this method a lot and hod no problems

if it's doing multiple letters of sticking of it's own accord take the key off it really is worth taking it to bits to clean. i've used this link (!http://www.thetechzone.com/?m=show&id=431&page=1!) before for desktops and laptops. if you hold down your space bar you should be able to pop just the n key off

Turns out there was a big wad of dust wrapped around the underside. Got it ought though. I'll keep that in mind for future crumbiness. Thanks.
