So I've been noticing that the keys on my chatpad such as the spacebar have been sticking a lot lately, wondering if there is something I could use to clean it. Such as keyboard cleaner perhaps?

mine was starting to stick a bit too. because 5 years ago i spilt coke on it and just was lazy to fully clean it. You have to disassemble it and take the key board out and clean it with alcohol. mine works just as new.

The stronger the 'rubbing alcohol' the less time it takes to dry - 90% works well, though 70$ may be easier to find. I've cleaned a few computer mice and game controllers, and it's good at removing 'gunk'. Keep in mind you may want some rubber gloves as it can dry out your hands and/or cause irritation to any cuts you may have.
