Just a reminder to scrub those keycaps and clean out your boards.
I just cleaned up my daily driver tonight and I’m just happier with it-- it looks new again, and honestly the sound improved.
Wash your caps in warm soapy water, vacuum out the plate areaand case. Give your mounting plate some TLC. A q-tip and some isopropyl alcohol did the trick for me.
How often are y’all cleaning? Any cool lil cleaning kits y’all prefer?
TLC ?
Tender love and care
Emphasis on tender! I always feel like I’m going to break something
Wait! You can clean keyboards? I thought you were just supposed to buy a new one every 6 months.
Seriously though, dandruff is the worst. Greasy so it sticks and you can’t blow it out. Highly recommend shaving your head to keep your keyboard cleaner.
Been shaving my head since 2010 but buying a keyboard every 6 months is something I might have to start ;)
Better safe than sorry!
Maybe once a month I’ll go over it with a brush to remove dust. I’ve never had to wash my keycaps in soapy water though. So, I don’t really clean them… just doesn’t seem to be a need. I also use a dust cover when not in use, which keeps dust from building up. It’s more preventative than cleaning here.
I didn’t think mine were that dirty either until I put it all back together and saw a stark difference.
Dust cover when not in use is a great idea!
