Chris,
Skip the ammonia. Ammonia will react with copper. Dish soap will, too
but not like the Ammonia. If you don't add enough to react with the
copper, your probably not adding enough for it to clean the keyboard any
better any way.
Get yourself an old toothbrush scrub the keyboard up, and rinse with
plenty of warm water after disassembling as much as you can (case, etc).
Don't let the electronic bits soak for any period of time.... get it
wet, scrubbed, and dry in short order. Blow as much water off as you
can with a compressor, or a can of air. Blow the water down, so gravity
is working for you, off the parts from several (all) angles. The let it
sit on its side, changing side every so often, in front of a fan.
Sometimes a towel will work to pull off some of the water after the
final rinse, too.
Let us know how it goes, what you do differently, etc.
