The average diswasher uses 15 gallons of water per cycle so:

#1 Go to your local supermarket and buy at least 15 jugs (maybe 20 just to be on the safe side ) of distilled water.

#2 Stop at the local hardware store and find a big enough container to hold your 15-20 gallons of distilled water and a few feet of rubber hose.

#3 Go home and place container by dishwasher and sink. Fill container with distilled water.

#4 Disconnect water inlet line to dishwasher from underneath the sink.

#5 Use rubber hose to slip over the inlet line to the diswasher so it will now reach the container of distilled water.

#6 Place keyboard in dishwasher and run the dishwasher.


Sure sounds like it is worth saving $10 to me!
