Cleaning keyboard?

[Slickone]

What have you found to be the best way to clean the grime from in between your keyboard keys? Seems you could use a toothbrush and a little bit of alcohol or some other cleaner, as long as it wasn't enough to soak down in. Also maybe hold it upside down while scrubbing?

The washer trick work for keyboards with the extra features like the media buttons and extra usb connections?

I've used it on regular keyboards, but wonder if anyone has tried it since my Microsoft Natural Pro is getting kinda funky.

Just get mr. clean sponge.
it'll take all the junk off your keyboard

I find that compressed air (that crap in the can) works really well

Don't want to take it apart, just go through it with compressed air.

Is there a trick to popping the keys off and on without breaking them? Do M$ and Logitech keys attach the same way?

I took apart and washed my Logitech Elite keyboard. Hasn't worked right since. At random keys will stop working and then work again later. It is really frustrating especially when I log onto my server then it goes into locked screensaver and one of the keys required for my password doesn't work.

Logitech keys come off pretty easily. Here's a pic of my now dead Keyboard
