How do I clean my keyboard o.o
« on: Wed, 24 April 2013, 16:12:22 »
I have a Ducky Shine (v1), and I'm good with taking the keycaps off--but it's absurdly hard to clean in between the switches...any special way/guide to doing this? =D

Compressed air always worked for me, unless it's baked on(shouldn't be). In which case, just take an old toothbrush/ any sort of fine brush and gently rub then turn upside down and shake.

Why not just get a keycap puller and take the keycaps off? Does not take too long. It is not like you need to do it every day and you can leave any key with a stabilizer on.

Though I can not blame you. I am lazy. Cleaning often means keeping it upside down for a bit, and wiping it down with microfiber cloth.

Vacuum is better than pressure, in general.

Q-tips and alcohol are good.

I've always used a vacuum with the narrowest attachment I have. Although sometimes I wish I had an even narrower one.
