Keyboard Cleaning

Hey guys, new here. Was wondering what the best way to clean a keyboard is, just the case. I've heard isopropyl can damage the paint bond layers. Would soapy water be better? Any cleaning solutions to recommend?

You can mix an isopropyl alcohol/water solution to wipe it down. Soapy water works too, especially for keycaps.

The best way is don't wait until you need to clean them with anything else but a slightly damp cloth. I use an electric blower or compressed air blower to blow out dust and stuff, use a brush to clean a bit more then wipe down the case of the board regularly.

I suggest to clean it regularly with a damp cloth. I clean it once every 2 weeks. I hope it helps you.
