cleaning a keyborad- nasty!!!!!!!!

[rugman]

  okay guys we all eat and drink and look at the computer I was looking at mine and some one can eat off it . What is the best way to clean it and get all the dust and crap out from around the keys . I don't want to mess it up

You can get cans of compressed air for cleaning keyboards.

Compressed air or they make tiny keyboard vacuum attachments so you can suck the stuff up!

Don't be Cheap!!.  But a new one.

compressed air will get the crumbs and dust out, not not really clean it.  Unhook it and use a damp rag.

OH.. by the way... I don't eat or drink over my keyboard.

I work on my PC all day.. About twice a month I pick up my keyboard, turn it upside down,  and bash it on my desk a few times.. Usually I shake out enough crumbs to bread a veal cutlet..And you shoulda seen it when I chewed tobacco  Of course we got piles of keyboards around the office in case I break it (have'nt yet).. Compressed air may be safer

I usually turn everything off and break out the big vacuum.  Put on that small hairy thingie and vacuum gently and tapping lightly.  Does a good enough job for me.
