I actually found information on how to lubricate the sticky keys! I don't know if this works for PC keyboards or just laptops:

I have an issue with my laptop, I think I've cleaned it too often, it's like the pads are dry beneath the keys, they get stuck and "click" now, and they do not pop off like PC keyboard keys. I'm wondering if there is a way to lubricate them, like contact cleaner + silicone spray or something?
