How do you clean your keyboard?

[weezergirl]

What's an effective and easy way to clean my keyboard? I mean under and between the keys?

 

[notfred]

flip it upside down and hit the back of it a couple times.

Every year I take off all the keys and put em in soap and water. Give the bottom of the keyboard a good cleaning (trying not to be repulsed by the crap I find in it) and then put it back together.

I turn her on her side and give her a good smacking on her bottom side.

wow and I thought I was paranoid about my keyboard.

I just might do this 🙂

Put the keyboard in your dishwasher, in the top rack, face down on a warm cycle (no heating after). Seriously.

unplug it first
spray it lightly with cleaner
us a high powered air compressor gun and blow all of the crap outta it.
the high pressure (really high pressure) will dry it off completely

He's right, that was a science bowl question once in high school.

Open the top cover and carefully clean the inside and the keys. Be prepared to find a colony of "goodies" stored within your keyboard.

I just blow it off with compressed air every once in a while.

Im a fan of flipping it over and hitting a few times.

Umm ... 2 rules with keyboards:

1) Don't eat poppy seed or sesame seed bagels around them.

2) Don't pick your nose while you're using your computer.

If you follow these rules, you should never need to clean it. 😀

Buy a new one. I end up getting a new one every year anyways out of impluse.

can you put a cordless keyboard in the washer?

 

[0roo0roo]

take it apart and then clean it.

putting keyboard in washer is for fools. sheets of circuits inside that easily corrode with water contact. a bit of water seeps between the sheets and bang, keyboard is gone.

 

[dighn]

vaccum. flakes of dead skin don't stick strongly to the plastic

Take it outside and use the hose. Let it dry for several days.
