Recommended Posts

I Have NO clue were to begin but um i need to clean my keyboard BAD along with its keys. like every key is see-able and all but the square edges of the keyboard are dusty and white and yellow....WTF. so i think its time it needs cleaning. ive got a Microsoft wireless multimedia keyboard 1.1.my spacebar is messed up but it still works...lol any suggestions on how to pop off each key without destroying said keyboard and cleaning them? sorry if i didn't post in the right area.

:troll:.

but seriously, best way would probably be some baking soda and water on a damp (not dripping wet) rag and WIPE it on and off. DO NOT POUR for the exterior. i would soak the individual keys in the same mix and even use some q-tips to clean underneath the keys if you want to get neurotic. popping the keys out is not a big deal if you only do a few at a time. power down the device first (duh). pick up a can of compressed air and hit the keyboard with that. im willing to bet 90% of your problem is small debris working their way underneath said keys.

You can use a buds dipped on After shave lotion clean off the yellowishness.

Above to it. You can buy a new keyboard which is not going to cost you much.

How did you get a picture of my keyboard? :o

On a serious note, i clean my keyboard on a weekly basis with compressed air and anti-bacterial wipes. Looks like new :)

On a more serious note, I use a long bristled soft brush to wipe off the dust and then inverting the entire keyboard upside down I just tap the base to dislodge grit that accumulates under the keys. If this is a regular practice the keyboard doesn't need more serious cleaning. However, for a more thorough clean-up job I use the vacuum on blower mode to just blast off stubborn particles. :)

You could use an expensive specialist cleaning utility as below
