760 systems were notorious for (relatively) rapid keyboard wear.
If you've got one with sticky keys, get yourself some "dri-lube" as used for
drawer slides etc. Do not use oil based products, they will rot the rubber
membrane. Carefully, using 2 small screwdrivers, pry off each keytop. Clean
the stems and slides and then lube them with a very small amount of
"dri-lube". Clip the keytop back on.
If you're lucky, you'll get all the keys done without problems. If not, on
pulling one of the keys you'll find that the rubber "dome" of the keyboard
membrane has ripped off with the keytop. If this happens, it's new keyboard
time. Fortunately, they're cheap (something like US$75, I think). If you're
good with your hands you can replace it yourself. Make sure the keys don't
stick on the new keyboard before installing it- return it if necessary until
you get a good one.
