Dusty Keyboard - Dust won't come out?

Question

Does anyone know how I can dust my keyboard and have the dust come out of the cracks too?

Answer 1

Two words: Canned Air.

Answer 2

You can also take the keys off one by one and then the dust should come right out!! Just make sure you have a picture of your keyboard to know where to put the keys back!!

Answer 3

Either use a pressurized air canister,

or if you have a really old keyboard,

You can unscrew the back panel and electronics, then just wash the top key part in the dishwasher or something like that. I used that meathod at the Ice Cream store I used to work at where the keys would constantly get jammed up with Fudge and stuff.

Answer 4

You can go to your office max or staples or whom ever sells computers, get a can of air it works wonders if you go and tell them what you are needing they will know the item you will need. My father in-law unplugs his keyboard and then uses a Q-tip it wont get right down in to it but it will look a little better. The air does the trick though. It is pressure air and get down in the cracks. If you have a vacuum that changes over to blow air you could try that (like a Kirby) Good luck...

Answer 5

Use Dust Off Spray, It's a great product for dust.

Answer 6

If you know what you are doing, you can take the board apart and wash all of the parts in the kitchen sink and put it back together again. I do that all the time. Go ahead, give it a try, if you cannot do it then you can pick up another one for about two dollars at a yard sale.

Answer 7

I drag a folded piece of paper between the cracks..
it does the job and is strangely amusing
:)

Answer 8

Keyboards are cheap buy a new one

Answer 9

I'd go with either the air in a can or the Swiffer Duster.

Answer 10

Canned air works well for any part of the computer or printer.
