ok, my keyboard is disgustingly dirty and horrible, does anyone have any tips for how to clean it? i wouldnt know where to start...

Turn it upside down and bang it!

Cans of compressed air come in handy. You can get them at Wal-mart's electronics section.

Don't prise the keys off. I now have the l key and the space bar missing.

Then, how are you?... o_o I don't wanna know.

Vacuum cleaner/old toothbrush.

I agree with SpiraLethe. Not on the tipping upside down and banging it part though...

...You should get a can of compressed air from your local Wal-Mart. If it comes with a little straw looking thing, attach it, and stick it under the keys. All the dust will shoot up from the spaces between the keys. If all else fails, use a dry clean cloth.

ok, where could i get one of these cans of stuff in england?

Try PC World, Maplins, Dixons perhaps.

I've never seen them there. I personal sugest (sp?) a small knife and a steady hand but you might not want to try that...

Takes too long. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush head.

Chuck it in a bath full of water... works wonders.



Just kidding =]

Helpful as always SL!!

the vacuum works well
so does the can of compressed air.
Doesnt hurt to turn it upside down and bang it (gently of course)
also a bit of rubbing alchohol and a qtip for the grungy keys (unplug it first)

You might have a point there.

My tip for after hoovering if you don't want to use a toothbrush is to use antibacterial surface spray like Dettox and use cotton buds. Don't spray directly on the keyboard. Spray into a cap, then dip the cotton bud in. Oh yeah, and don't do it when the computer's on.

There was one time where we used bleach on it. It worked, although it did take most of the letters off the keyboard as well. Thank god we can touch type.
