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.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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