I have a Samsung R580 which has a chiclet style keyboard. They keyboard is great and all but dirt just gets stuck under they keys. I want to get out all debris out if the keyboard without actually taking apart all the keys.
How do I do this?
You can unplug it from the PC and take a damp rag and just run it over the keyboard and get that "ground in dirt" out.
For awhile you could buy what amounted to a flashlight with a blower instead of a bulb, at places like OfficeMax. Too bad they made them so flimsy. They died after a couple of months. Good idea badly implemented. I never see them around anymore. Guess it's like those battery powered brooms. Once they start dying it discredits the idea.
Cheap home solutions to cleaning a keyboard:
- Blu Tac
- Damp cloth
- Vacum and keyboard flip (bang it lightly so all the crap falls out of the keyboard)
- Fine toothbrush/paintbrush
More expensive options (not overly pricey):
Make sure you don't remove the keys to clean, You will most likely regret it in the end.
- Can of compressed air.
Hope that helped. :)
I vacuumed my keyboard, and every single key got sucked up. That sounds stupid, but I had to dig around inside the vacuum to get all my keys back. Don't do it. Don't chance it. Instead, go with a can of compressed air and try to bow it clean. Actually, you might could purposely take the keys off and then clean the keyboard, but I wouldn't go through so much trouble.
Get a can of air.
