Turpentine, mineral spirits, paint thinner. They will all dissolve enamel paint.

They will also dissolve the plastic your keyboard is made of.

kbs cost 20 bucks.
 
I agree with Dave. I can't think of anything that will dissolve the paint without also reacting with (and disolving) the plastic on the keyboard.
