Clean my keyboard? Umm….. it might be time to get a new one for me…

Once every month and every time I’m suprised how much dirt can fit in here.

Ugh, mine are both due… I feel old saying this but I’m tempted to get covers.

Every 6 months, I guess. I have a plastic cover for my keyboard that I put on every time I sleep/get off the PC, so my keeb’s relatively clean

Far to little..

I just stick it in the dishwasher
not joking, just let it dry for a day or so before you plug it back in.
note: for wireless keyboards, don’t do it if you can’t remove the battery

Normally I threw them in garbage and buy a new one after 3 or so years.

Just did this a few days ago. When ever I really notice it starting to get nasty.

I put the vacuum over top of it, pressing the keys down with the nosel and then just go left to right

i cleaned mine for the first time after 4 years, not much stuff in there since i keep my desk pretty clean and don’t it in my bedroom, but the keys were getting a bit dirty
TheClownOfGod

When I feel its time to clean.
I would like to know “how” you guys clean your keyboard though ?
I take out the caps, put them on a strainer and clean it with Soap water.
Iam not sure how to clean actualy Keyboard as iam worried I would damage it by water/soap?
On the other hand I have seen Linus’s video where they put K70 to the dishwater (I believe on 70C) and it survived, but it was too expensive to risk it (where in reality I just couldnt live a day without computer to let it dry)

One every couple years
tiagojsagarcia
less than I should
it gets vaccumed every week/2 weeks, but that kind of proper cleanup… it’s been a while
VegetableWaltz100
bold of you to assume i clean mine,i buy cheapest ones and when letters are gone in 2 months i buy another one
Dechna
not as often as I should…
on cleaning days maybe go over it with a moist towel and once in a while a deep clean (remove keys, get all the gunk out, reassemble)
I should really do it more often but when I look at my keyboard I’d rather use it than clean it it’s way more fun xD

It just happen whenever I replace switches.

The occasional “shake it while holding it upside down” and then wiping the crumbs into the bin.
How often? Once in a ‘when I feel like it’.

Haven’t cleaned mine in a year. Recently, I have noticed during gaming that my shift key sometimes stops responding. I think it’s a sign for me to clean it. I can’t even imagine what the inside is gonna look like.

You have to clean them‽‽

I clean entirely every year but as quick clean I do weekly with hard brush
