s it possible to clean your keyboard?

Question

I have a few letters that are hard to push down.

Answer 1

Theres a can of cleaner you can buy at office stores or WalMart. It sprays out kinda cold hard air and it works great.

Its called DUST OFF PROFESSIONAL
Compressed Gas Duster


WORKS GREAT!

Answer 2

use a can of compressed air. We used to have the same problem with our old keyboard. We did that until liquid was spilled on it, then it became VERY hard to push some buttons. Like another person posted, keyboards are fairly cheap (we got a GE keyboard w/an optical mouse from Walmart for about $25)....so that may be another option as well.

Answer 3

Yes. Just unplug your keyboard from your machine. Then shake the crap out of it. Then use a small screwdriver and gentle ease the keys out of their slots (slide it in the small gaps and lever them out). Just make sure you lay them out in the correct order or take a picture so you know which key goes where.

Then you can wipe the main keyboard parts down with a damp cloth. The keys can get scrubbed in the sink or a bucket of warm water. Don't use anything that contains ammonia or alcohol. Let it dry thoroughly (like overnight, or something) and put the keys back in. Plug it back in and you should be good to go.

Answer 4

If can air doesn't work then the best thing to do when cleaning out anything, keyboard and all on or in a computer is to vaccum it out, I know that sounds crazy but that is what the text book says to do.

Answer 5

ya theres this stuff in a can that when u press the button very cold air comes out and clears all the dust from in between ur keyboard keys

Answer 6

I have the same problemo...
try cleaning duster from office depot....or any major department store sells it...or if you are at an office ask your IT dept to get you a new keyboard or switch with an unused computer! thats what im going to do.

Answer 7

Yes you can. I use a dishwasher, after removing the keys first. But remember to set the drying cycle to air dry else you will melt your keyboard.

Answer 8

Yes :) Use compressed air, and you can pop off each key individually using a small sharp object, to dust and clean out underneath.

Answer 9

Yup, just don't forget were the keys GO :)

Most are solid state as Well, you can, and I have done this with all my keyboards, Run them through the Dishwasher, Just make sure it is Good and Dry before you Connect it again.

Hope that helps.

Answer 10

This may seem far fetched but you can do it this way. Simply remove it from your PC and clean it in the tub or sink with warm soapy warter. Make sure you rinse it good and then set it on end and let it dry over night. Plug it back in and youll be good to go.
