PP JuKuzai Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 The keyboard is a peripheral that we always have our hands on, and for this reason it gets dirty quite easily. Of course, thoroughly cleaning the keyboard can be quite traumatic because to get it truly clean the ideal is to remove all the keys, but is there a way to clean the keyboard without having to completely disassemble it? Yes, and in this article we tell you the best way to do it. Having to remove all the keys from the keyboard to clean them one by one and then put them back in their mechanisms can be a pain... not because it is complicated (in the end, if you don't know by heart where each key goes you can always take a photo of it or see images on the Internet) but because it is laborious, since a conventional keyboard has more than 100 keys. So, let's see the best way to clean it without having to remove all the keys. Necessary materials We have often talked to you about isopropyl alcohol, since it is the best disinfectant to use on any PC or peripheral because it cleans, disinfects, leaves no marks or odors and is also not abrasive to plastics. Now it's about always passing the cloth from top to bottom on the keyboard, making sure to press enough for the keys to activate but logically being careful not to press too hard so as not to damage anything. The trick here is to press with only one finger to clean each row of keys individually, because by doing it this way you will not only be cleaning the key you press, but by pressing it you will also be cleaning the sides of the adjacent keys. Once you've done this technique from top to bottom, repeat it from left to right or right to left; The intention of repeating this step changing the direction is that if we previously cleaned the upper face of the keys and the sides of the adjacent ones, now we will go over the upper part and clean the upper and lower parts of the adjacent ones. Once you've done that, chances are some gunk has settled between the keys, so it's time to go over the entire keyboard with your ear buds. To do this, lightly wet one side of the cotton swab and carefully insert it between the keys and into all the nooks and crannies you can. Be careful not to press too hard as the edges of the key caps could cause the cotton to come off the swab. When you see that it is dirty or worn, turn it over and do it with the opposite side, or change the swab when necessary. Once this is done, lightly wet the microfiber cloth again and go over all the sides, the bottom area and the perimeter of the keyboard to finish cleaning it. Logically, this is not a thorough cleaning as such, but in just 5 minutes you will have cleaned and disinfected 95% of your keyboard, and of course the feeling of cleanliness will have nothing to do with it compared to before cleaning it.
