how do you clean between the keys on a keyboard?

[noxipoo]

I eat and spill on my kb all the time. everytime i clean it, i can't clean the space under the keys, even after i take it apart. i need to clean it as its getting nasty i oucld jus get a new kb but natural kbs aren't cheap.

hhhmmmm all keyboard keys should pull out. oh well.

I forgot to say that I once took apart a microsoft natural and put everything except the circuit into a dishwasher, it was clean, needed lube though.

Just pop them out. You have to get something to wedge under the first one to start it, I have a tiny little eyeglasses screwdriver that I use. After the first one, they all come out pretty easily.

Don't eat stuff over your keyboard! Or at least invest in a cover for it.

I shake it upside down, bang it on the desk a couple of times and then sweep it into a pot and add rice and broth....makes a damn good soup!

 

Just buy a new one every year. They cost < $20!!!

Use your vacuum cleaner and hold against the keyboard. To do a better job, turn keyboard upside down and use vacuum. To do an even better job (requires a second person) have some spray compressed air, use vacuum cleaner and shake holding upside side (the keyboard).
