You can buy some really inexpensive computer keyboards these days. Maybe $10 or less. For that it might not be worth the trouble of fixing the one you have. That said, I'd try to unscrew the bottom of the keyboard, if you can, and clean it with a brush and vacuum. Maybe a little compressed air. If it's more than just dirty, I don't think there's a lot you can do.
