Yesterday I spilled some soda on my G510 while playing TF2. I cleaned the keyboard pretty well, but now three keys are sticking: K, O, and the comma. For the time being I rebound these to the macro keys on the keyboard so I can still kind of use it, but today I plan to disassemble the keyboard and clean those keys.
Anyone own this keyboard (or a variant) previously? I can't seem to find disassembly instructions anywhere, but I assume it's just unscrewing the bottom portion. Also, before I go fucking this up even further, what should I use to clean the keys/sockets once I get them out? I've heard things from warm water and dish soap to rubbing alcohol so I am not sure.
Honestly I will just probably replace this keyboard sooner or later but I want to be able to sell it fairly well.

Just pop the keys off?
I would use alcohol on the actual keyboard...maybe wash those keys with water/soap if necessary since you're popping them off.

^^ Has it right. Also using drinks with lids to prevent spills in the future. :)

Well, problem is that the keys are not removable directly from the front due to the backlighting. I have to dismantle it.

Funny story about that. The soda was bottled and exploded when I opened it due to the pressure built up from sitting in my backpack all day. Lesson learned. :(
