I'm using an IBM branded heavy duty "original style" of keyboard. The kind that weighs a couple of pounds. I've been using it since 1999. Plus I have a brand new one in my closet when/if the one I'm using now ever decides it has had enough....QUALITY!

It has 101 keys, no "Windows" key or any of that stuff....just the same as an IBM-AT for you old timers who may remember when they came out with the expanded 101 key keyboard in the 1980s

Not that I would suggest it .... but in a old job the IT people used to regularly unplug the keyboards chuck them in a bucket of warm soapy water for a few days then dry them out over the coerce of a week. Worked like new...apparently...

Yep, thats about what I did, however I did take it apart to not get the electronics wet. The feel of the key board now is that it is much tighter if that makes any sense.
