What kind of glue? If you can't scrape it off with a plastic blade, you could resort to a sanding block. Though when you're done polishing the key it will look different than the others.

I do not know if mineral spirits will remove ca glue, but it does not harm keytops.

Acetone/lacquer thinner eats keytops,so always keep that away from them.
