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.

“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

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