Sure, most vacuum cleaners won't damage a keyboard if you use them properly and your keyboard isn't crap.

No problem put it on full suction, if you loose a key then a new key pad and probably a lot better than what you have got and the cost is less than £ 20. Compressed air in a canister is available from some of the Plumb Centres ( Plumbers merchants) We use it to clean some of the more complicated central heating boilers. Look at some of the computer fairs if you have them near you. Many good both hardware and software deals available along with consumables.

"I'm confused about England and Britain. They seem to sometimes be used interchangeably. " - That would likely be incorrect then, hence they have different names to start with. If it has a different name then it likely means something else. In simple terms... See very basic map image link below that explains the following. Scotland = Scotland England = England Wales = Wales Great Britain (or Britian) = big island on the right Great Britain (or Britian) = where Scotland, Wales and England are all found only Ireland = smaller island on the left Ireland = where Republic of Ireland (Eire) and Northern Ireland are found only UK = a country of countries UK = Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Republic of Ireland is not part of UK. They left many years ago. Hence there's two Irelands due to a split of differences. Some of the stuff you are writing is wrong. Getting them wrong could cause offence. But this is the correct place to ask these things and to learn. So well done.

I use the vacuum cleaner on high suction - it would take a lot more suck than that to pull the keys off your keyboard.
DON'T use compressed air - all that does is to blow the gunge deeper into the keyboard, where it can cause "dead keys" by preventing electrical contact.

Yes it's fine to do this - it's what i do. I bought a can of compressed air once and when i sprayed it onto the pc, wattery stuff came out and almost ruined my Pc. Just keep vacuming it as that will suck up dust etc rather than blowing it somewhere else.

That is the way I clean my keyboard and sometimes the air vents on my computer. It has never caused any harm.

As long as you aren't logged on to any thing vitaly important, yep, best way.
If your looking for cans of compressed air, I reckon you want to look at RS ( Radio Spares ) depending where you come from.
I used to work in a place that provided them in bulk.

Yeah if you want all the innards of the keyboard to end up in the vac bag then go ahead (sounds like a good wheeze pal).

I vacuum my laptop weekly and have on occasion sucked up a key. I just have to open up my Dyson vacuum and get it back.
Go for it!

Sure you can. I bought 3M Dust Remover from Wal-Mart last week.
