Is it true that the keys from the keyboard can be removed? If so, please tell me how. My keyboard is dirty from the inside.

Pop them off gently (use a blunt knife or the like to pry them off. Clean with a gentle cleaning solution and gently pop back on. A vacuum with a brush head also helps
Don't try that though on a laptop, as laptop keys are not designed to be removed

Standard desktop keyboards, YES.
Laptops, sometimes
BUT, that won't help you clean out the "inside", just under the keys, and compressed or "canned" air will usually do the job without removal.
Desktop keyboards are so cheap now that I don't bother to try cleaning the inside anymore. I just buy a new one when they cease to work well.

Yes, it's possible, but first try compressed air and Q tips.
Go to the website of your keyboard manufacturer for help in key removal and replacement. I have a Mac laptop and the key replacement was a bit complicated.

Turn off the power and then unplug your keyboard. carefully use a flat head screwdriver and gently lift the keys one at a time. hope that helped :-)

Your question is a valid question. You can pop it off but you might break the plastic joint inside. My recommendation is that don't remove them just clean it with an air blower to blow out the dirt. Good luck.

Yes they can, but you can vacuum it and use Qtips to clean it.
