    How do you clean your keyboard?

    I just get cotton swabs and wipe the keys and used compressed air generated from my lungs.

    BTW, is it a good idea to submerge a keyboard into water to flush out everything? Or will it just kill the keyboard?
    ^^^^That's what lazy people do ;D ^^^^^

    I use cotton swabs with alcohol.
    There are some USB vacuums to suck up the dust in your keyboard.

    Step to Step guide:



    Quick Solution
    Just disassemble the keyboard and take the electronics out.
    Then put the keyboard in the dishwasher, and you're done.
    Doesn't work for laptops tho :D

    I don't mind taking my keyboard apart. I'd do what CoolKill3r recommended, except for the dishwasher part, heehee!

    Cause it's an electronic. Electrical device + water = dead most of the time.
