Title: Hello, from the US, looking for a keyboard resource!
Post by: misraa on Fri, 22 November 2024, 05:21:16

Hello,

I have two TKL keyboards, one with mx clears the other with topre 55g. I am trying to clean the topre keyboard and have tried canned air as well as a qtip with rubbing alcohol and it doesn't get these like weird white gunks off my keyboard. I have a hard rule to not eat over my keyboard, and I only drink water so the only dirt I really see between my keys ever was dust so... not sure what's up! Will be creating a new thread  https://vlc.onl/ (https://vlc.onl/)  .

Hope to learn a lot here

Try using a soft toothbrush with isopropyl alcohol or a magic eraser for stubborn residue. Compressed air helps with dust, but deeper cleaning may require removing keycaps.
