When I got my Master Compact a while ago, some keys did not work
properly. Inspired by this page, I disassemebled it completely:

I cleaned the keycaps, and perhaps even went as far as cleaning the
rubber plungers on the back side of the keyboard. Afterwards the
keyboard was much more responsive.

I only used soap water. Some isopropanol alcohol may be useful too,
as described by people who restored Commodore keyboards - they all
have similar mechanisms.
