Holly, Ish:
I worry that isopropyl alcohol is too strong a solvent. I've seen keyboards (well, not the keys themse'ves, but the housing) go a little gooey.
What works for me is to take a paper towel and get it wet with water and a hydrocarbon solvent (hexanes are best, but storeboughtten mineral spirits - paint thinner - are ok). This double-acting wipe takes off all the plaque and leaves a clean crisp keyboard. About those weird Jacques Cousteau ecosystematic weirdnesses living under the keys - ehey. Outta sight, outta mind. (Or just plain outta mind, thank you.)
