Keyboard Cleaning

For those who are lazy to clean their keyboards - get your girls to do it for you.

Still looking for a slim one that fits my needs.^^;

I wondered that too, so I just removed one key to check...

Doesn't mean all keys are placed like that. I remember some laptop's keyboard that had the mechanism mirrored for some keys.
But we Apple users are way more careful with our keyboards right? :)
Seeing this post makes me want to disassemble my keyboard and lob it in the dishwasher......
uhhh.... i never really cleaned my keyboard and it is about 4 years old.... there is a layer of filth on the keys but i am too lazy to clean it... i can't believe i eat next to it and never get sick XD
it reminds me that i haven't do this for a long time ...
btw: good idea... i'll try ^^

I clean mine about once every year. But I dont eat over my keyboard either so the only thing that gets into it is dust. I should prolly just go out and buy a new one cause my W,A,S, and D keys are so faded that you cant read what letters are there.
Writer
Ha! -- why those four keys, I wonder? It wouldn't be WoW or some other game would it? Odd, I have the same issue.
Otaku Student
This makes me think of that book/movie Indian in the Cupboard. But I can't decide if that's every figure collector's dream or nightmare? I guess it depends on the figures you collect.

Moe, will they ever make small robot like that?
For now, I clean my room including the desk and stuffs on it, obviously KB included, once a week. I only dust it off though, and might wipe any place that got hard to clean stuff stuck on. Full cleaning is like whenever I feel like necessary to do.

Forgotten when I last cleaned my keyboard.
Used to have a keyboard cover but it ripped and was disposed of.
Yup, I see some tiny brownish dots of something on the keys.
Time to clean it before it gets worst, I suppose.
Not going to get the girls to do it though.
They stay in the displays, nice, clean and pretty.

I think people all over the world tries to do that at some point. Maybe the dust in Singapore is different because it's not working for me.

Nice helpers there! I used to have to clean mine (had 3 computers running 3 keyboards) like that about every 2 weeks. Eventually I learned to eat sitting way back from keyboard and never touch it when eating any thing greasy or cheesy. I also always remove all windows keyboard keys and then you can just use the compressed air to blow out the smaller natural debrie. Its been a long time since I have taken one apart now (I am GOOD at it now! - not getting food in keyboard).
Do love the miniaturization of the appearance of the shot above.

Mine has huge amounts of dust and hair(?!) underneath the keys that last time I cleaned it. Fortunately the keyboard comes with a tool which helps in plucking the keys out.

I blow dust out of my keyboard, the last time I pulled out the keys the keyboard got busted, never did it again.
a guy who cares (sort of...)
Right now I'm using Logitech UltraX keyboard and so far it's the best keyboard I've ever had but cleaning it is a big problem. Standard shaking up doesn't help so I have to be more rough, and in the process the silver paint on the lower corners simply comes off... Disassembling the keyboard is not a good idea either, in my first try I just couldn't put some keys back so... I had to buy a new keyboard and for a simple (although flat) keyboard almost without any extra keys and similar useless addons UltraX can be pretty expensive ;( .

Cute little figures.
Once had the bright idea of vacuming the keyboard, still can,t get them to stick down correctlie.
Mad scientist
haha. I was scared of that concept so I bought a vacuum set for keyboards since that provided me with somebody to blame if it went wrong. Basically it's a mouth piece for a normal vacuum cleaner and it has a very thin end that makes it possible to clean between the keys. Great idea.... but the keyboard is still dusty below the keys after using that thing.... simply not worth the money. The only solution appears to be manually remove all keys and then clean with cloth and/or cold water and let it dry.

Nice picture. Seeing how the keys are removed made me wonder so I googled for somebody cleaning a keyboard similar to mine to verify that I could take keys on and off. Turned out that I can so now I fixed the key that needed much more force than the other keys. It still needs a bit more force and I really wonder about that because it's not dirtier than the other keys at all.
Thanks Danny. You made me do what I have been thinking of doing for a while ^^

Nice... do you have a picture?
I would like to see how it look and know if it affects how easy it is to press the keys and so on. Might copy that idea some day.

Ooh... the keyboards at my workplace is just dirty and stuck with lots of weird stuff sometimes, like staples and paper clips! I'd really need a huge loli army to clean up that mess XD

Somebody had the bright idea to visit a whole lot of randomly picked offices and test keyboards and toilets for bacteria.... you don't want to know which one were the most clean.... and specially not the radio in the counts :P
I will just say that it sounds like your keyboard aren't that uncommon >.<

I usually clean my swab the sides of my keys with a Q-tip and pop out the keys when it gets too messy on the bottom. ^^;
Keyboards are getting very cheap online these days. Soon it'd unreasonable to buy a can of compressed air when you can get a spanking new keyboard for the same amount..

I clean my keyboard once a month as well as the mouse and I wash the mouse pad which many people over look specially in the workplace. I never knew how bad the mouse pad could get until I noticed a smog haze on my x files mouse pad so I put it in the sink and took some dish soap to it. After 5 minutes of scrubbing I turned on the warm water and started rinsing it and out came dirty water the color of coffee with a dash of mud.

I usually use a can of compressed air to blow stuff out of mine every week or so, and also wipe it down. Every few months I'll take off the keys and clean it out more thoroughly.
Really cute! I don't want to think about how long its been since I've cleaned my keyboard.
I just cleaned my recently. I can't believe how much crud was underneath all the keys. From now on I'm just going to get a cover for my keyboard.

My last keyboard was probably 20 years old and was really dirty at the end. It was made way before the windows key was invented. It's still the best keyboard I ever used, now I use a 8$ logitech keyboard, when it'll get dirty in a year or two I'll just get a new one.

you know if you have a membrane switch keyboard you can actually just toss it in the dishwasher with out soap and set it on warm and turn off auto dry. After that's done just leave it out to dry for about a week in a window and it'll be good as new. I've done it twice successfully.

I just wish that could happen. I don't even have canned air or wipes to use.

Kinda more interested in what model keyboard that is. Don't see too many of them with mechanical key switches.

I tilt mine up on end and blow the cr@p out of it (literally!!) with some canned air, there is a crack between the writs rest and keyboard proper that gets blown out or wiped out hourly.

I usually wipe my keyboard down when I see alot of dust, maybe pull all the keys out every year. I don't dare pull them out all in one go though, because the letters have faded and I can't tell where to put them back to afterwards XD
