Hi,
Boyz Rock is incorrect, here is a key remapping utility, download here: http://www.softarium.com/keyremapper/
This can disable or remap your key to another key. But why remap when you can repair?
Most of those keyboards are plastic-welded together and can't be taken apart. However, some are held together with screws (lots of them). If you have the screw-type, you are golden, if not, you are likely screwed.
In most of those keyboards, the active elements are printed conductive traces on two pieces of plastic (Mylar), with a 3rd piece sandwiched between them. The 3rd piece has a hole at each key, allowing the outside two to touch if pressure is applied.
If you get ANY liquid into the plastic sandwich, the keyboard is probably ruined unless it can be taken apart and cleaned.
The "feel" issue is likely in the plunger assembly that "presses on" the 3-layer Mylar sandwich. This is not part of the active circuitry; it’s just a mechanical device to "hit" the Mylar sandwich. The problem is figuring out how to clean it (a simple water rinse would probably do the
job) without getting water into the active "Mylar sandwich", because if you do, it will probably be ruined. Unfortunately, I don't see any low-risk process for doing that.
Now you can attempt this if you like, I have done this many time with 100% success rate. And you can use an external keyboard while this one is at the spa.
Remove the keyboard from the computer and gently remove the ribbon cable connecting to the motherboard. Then working over several sheets of newspaper in a well-ventilated area, disassemble the key board, there should be a lot of screws. Place them in a cup so you don’t loose them. Gently separate the electronics from the Mylar circuit connector. Separate the Mylar from the key face. Take the key section minus the Mylar and spray liberally with Electronic Parts Cleaner (available at any electronics supply... even stores such as Radio Shack... but beware not to use Television Tuner Cleaner as this contains a lubricant as well as a solvent cleaner). Press every key several times to thoroughly put all the key switches through their motions. Repeat spraying cleaner. Allow to dry completely. Reassemble and it will be good as new.
If you don’t want to attempt this you can use an external keyboard, or buy a replacement keyboard from here:
