Have you ever noticed a brand new Microsoft keyboard is so soft to type with and you don't have to directly press down square in the middle of any of the keys to get it to go down (keys). But after a while you have to start hitting the key directly in the middle of the key in order for it to go down without any type of friction.
I've tried to get to the bottom of this before and I don't know if I'm the only one with this pet peeve or what but I could never figure out how to get it feeling as though it was brand new again.
So here's hoping I can revive this as it's probably been a year at least since the last time I tried looking for a solution.
Does anyone know how to either clean the keys or have them feel brand new again?
I know some of you are going to say wash it and what not but I've actually tried soaking the keys in isopropyl alcohol, water and soap, etc. I've tried many things even using motor oil on the underside of the key in hopes that it would lubricate the key so that it would feel brand new.
The thing is, I'm wondering if it's the plastic that is underneath the keyboard that gets worn out as opposed to dirt and grime that get under the keys. The thing that would suck is if that is the case, it happens in two weeks time and nobody even seems to care.
I guess it's just my pet peeve but I get annoyed that I can't type as fast without those soft keys. I make many errors when I try to type with the keyboard all used up and busted.
Anyone else feel me or have a solution?

I suggest you switch to Logitech or anything else that has no capital M letter on the front of the brand name.
