@@milhouseonmeth648 What do you mean broke it off? Yeah it’s scary, it looks broken but it’s fine, those scissor switches look weird so they look broken when pulled
Pro tip: get an IP-68 rated keyboard, theyre usually cheaper than high end ones and you can literally spray them off under the sink or shower and even gently brush em with mild soap. no painful taking apart needed
Ofc thats a cheap keycaps, you need to get atleast an double shot abs leycaps which is exclusive to mechanical keyboard, but you can buy one for like 20$ without getting scammed
I normally like to soak the keycaps with the keyboard first, then i will dry them. After that, i simply toss them into a trash can and buy a new one 🎉🎉🎉
If you try to do this, you should only let them soak for about 2-3 minutes max regardless if it’s super dirty or not. If a electric duster is not available to you, use a microfiber towel to remove what you can and then go in with some soft brushes to get any excess dust/dirt off. If you have a really nasty keep board, you’re gonna have to do some scrubbing, use a plastic pry tool with a microfiber towel that’s BARELY damp and throw it on the pry tool in order to not scratch anything and scrub off any gunk/grime of the caps/keyboard. dawn dish soap does a great job at removing dirt off of things. Just don’t use too much and again not for too long. When you take them out put them in a towel to dry. Pat them dry, don’t rub each one to get it dry faster or that’ll for sure make the design or just lettering come off. Let them sit on the towel and air dry or if you have a electric duster like he has, you can use that to dry it faster or a blow dryer if you have a cool setting on it. If it’s only hot keep a good distance from it and move side to side. Don’t just sit it in one area, it’s not like it’s as hot as a heat gun but it can get hot if you leave it on the same area. So I’d imagine it is possible to NOT MELT but slightly warp them. Don’t expect to get this done within a hour or even three. Water can still be sitting in small tight spots on the bottom side of the caps so I’d just let them air dry for the day. Don’t leave them out in the sun cause you’re just exposing them to UV light and cause discoloration. Not gonna happen in one day but it’s best just to avoid it. If you don’t want to let them sit in soapy water, make some soapy water and use a toothbrush but don’t scrub hard. Scrub gently. Again, dawn dish soap can get dirt off just by sitting on a surface and getting rinsed off with water. If the caps are SUPER DIRTY with gunk on them, you’re gonna have to be slightly less gentle with scrubbing and really let the soap do most of the work. So just set one day aside just to clean the entire pc as well. One day not using your pc isn’t the end of the world. You’ll have a clean pc/keyboard and you’re stuff will last much longer and keeping them in great condition can be good if you decided to upgrade and sell your stuff to someone else who can’t possibly afford a really nice keyboard/pc parts you’d be helping them out. That way everyone can also have nice stuff.
Thank God I use a black keyboard all I gotta do is use a brush that gets in between the keys and use a duster made for keyboard to get most of the stubborn dust out then go through with an aircan to real blow that dust out then I get my leaf blower, I want to make sure nothing is left, after that I get my industrial fan and just let it go for a good hour.
Are you for real?! I've cleaned my keyboard like two months ago, and just tried some stuff, to see if it worked. I did almost exactly the same thing, as shown in this video, and I don't detail cars, I just used my brain. 🤷♂️
Did one wayy back but basically I just toss it in the shower for a rinse, dish soap and scrub, and then rinse again and wrap it up in a towel for 30 before letting it airdry after!
@@ggdonn146 He was cleaning an already clean keyboard which is zero work done and then watering a plant in the rain is also of no use as it is already getting water which is also zero work done. And if you can seriously not understand something this simple then idk man All the best, you will definitely need it
@@trenonlol so let me explain. Him cleaning the keyboard is energy transferred whether it’s, chemical energy, kinetic energy, or mechanical energy he’s still working😂. It’s useless work but i definitely see him working. Now on the other hand the watering a plant in the rain is also useless, and might not take much work but it’s still a process😂, I hope this help, but if it didn’t that suck😹🤷..
Literally right after this video came up on my recommendation i immediately starts to clean my keyboard😂 And also, is it okay if i have like 1 tiny drop of water in my keycaps and i just pops back in he keyboard??
The cotton from the q-tips can catch between the switches and the mounting plate, depending on said switches and mounting plate. Just use a brush or be careful, skill issue ig.
Me every work day: I’m going to clean my keyboard on my day off. Me every day off: doesn’t clean my keyboard because I wanna use my computer every second I have off work
This may be obvious, but be 1000% sure the keycaps are fully dry when putting it back together. Even though it seemed like my caps were dry a few hours later (using a fan to help dry), I put my keyboard back together and they're must've been just enough moisture that it rekt my keyboard and I had to buy a new one.
Few weeks back I did exactly same. But after some of the keys won't respond or need to press too hard. Worse thing is press single times gives multiple response.
Until you get into under the board cover, smaller dust particle can slip into the small gap between the switch and the frame, and make dust build up over time
when i clean my keyboard i get even the switches off, clean the POM plate, I even vacuum the silicone insert inside, I remove the screws, clean them with a brush, even the feet of the keyboard are preserved with rubber fluid
I clean my keyboard twice a year, this year i only did it once, so you can imagine what was under there , i soaked the keycaps in soap water, and had to use a vacuum yes a 2000 watt vacuum, then a electric duster then a cotton swab, tho i gotta say i might have the cleanest 8 year old keyboard in the world

Or just search the keyboard online or look at your phone keyboard.

Thx bro, I really needed that reminder. I was about to do it today, forgot it, and you reminded me :D
A horse hair shoe brush works wonders if you want a quick method, for the nitty gritty part of of the board it also works!
I just did this exact thing last night and now my keyboard is like brand new❤
Can you actually put keycaps into water? Cause if you can im gonna clean them that way.
yep! Just make sure they're fully dry before putting them back on your keyboard
Ok thx.
@@Haraldoo1 oh naw bro it actually removes the lettering on the keycaps

the spacebar shows it is a reddragon, but idk about the model or keycap .

Get yourself a nice acrylic keyboard cover when it’s not in use keeps it clean longer and looks really cool too

Tip: Cyberclean also does wonders. Easy to get dirt off and disinfects as well.
