Clean it!
Most of 'em have "pop-off" keytops, and they "stick" because of rubbish and liquids like sugary drinks gumming them up.
It's pretty easy to pop a top off, by gently levering at one side. A quick clean, hoover and re-fit and you have a "new" keyboard again. I kept the one before the one before this one working perfectly for fifteen or twenty years that way. (I loved it because it had the right "feel", and only replaced it because I got complaints that no-one else could use it as I'd worn nearly all the keytop legends off! The replacement didn't last long as the spacing was wrong - too cramped - and the keytops slightly too small so I kept hitting two keys at once)
Never underestimate the power of stupid things in large numbers
