[geeks] Safe keyboard lube?

[Phil Stracchino]

I have a recently-purchased Perixx ergonomic keyboard.  ...No, it does 
not have mechanical switches.  OH YE GODS OF TECHNOLOGY I would love to 
find a decent split/wave-type ergonomic keyboard with mechanical 
switches.  But there pretty much ain't no such animal.  The closest 
thing is...

...But I digress.  Anyway, the problem is some of the key caps are 
sticking and binding in their guides.

Now, when I had this problem before on a previous keyboard, I tried 
lubricating the key guides with a teflon-based gun lube.  It worked 
beautifully ...  right up until the solvents in the lube ate the plastic.

So:  Has anyone ever figured out a safe lubricant to use on plastic 
membrane keyboards?
