I appreciate Hipyo being honest about how dirty his keyboard is and not pretending we’re all just a bunch of animals with ours 😂
Yes, then again he accused us of not doing the dishes… or washing our hands…
Well I'm not "an animal" with mine. Cleaning my keyboard takes me like 1 minute at max because it's never even dirty to begin with. It's just a bit dusty and that's easily fixed with compressed air.
The secret is to wash your hands and never eat at the keyboard. If you have to, then eat something that isn't powdery.
@@BertyBertssonAlso, don't own pets (slight sarcasm). I used to own a dog and oh my god, my laptop keys were so damn clogged with her hair, lol. I semi-cleaned the keys but nothing as in-depth as this, because it was a laptop.
But, if you do own pets, maybe don't let them get close to your keyboard, unless the cleaning process doesn't bother you. With cats, people also let them walk all over their surfaces (I personally never understood this, even as a former cat owner). Cats could be on the couch and whatever structure/ cat tree was bought for them. Cats did not go on tables or counters where you put your food, they did not go on top of fridges for the same reason (and it's dangerous and they can get stuck up there, too scared to hop down), and they don't walk on desks. People seem to forget where their cat's paws have been when they allow this.
:3 My keyboard was wayyyy worse than this with hair. Haha. I don't really have food inside of it. I rinsed it under water, used soap, q-tips, a sponge with the scrubber side, and the keys I soaked in soapy water before rinsing them, and washing them more with soap, and wiping them down. Now, they're outside drying in the hot sun. I'll leave them out there for like 24 hours. Haha
love thise videos
cold water will probably work better for more keycaps. the heat may cause the legends or characters to dissolve a bit if you have a dyesub set and if you agitate the keycaps with the soapy water then youre fine. i used a chopstick to kida stir them and it worked marvelously. also using alcohol on your plastic is generally not a good idea
just use slightly warm water, pbt won't get damaged in it
is it bad that its dissolved on the inside of my keys
I used very hot water and my keycaps got bent 😂
@@mshazaz that's why he said "the hottest water *your hands can handle*"
@@TheoSur well i guess he can handle hot enough water that it can melt his keycaps
You can use ultrasonic cleaner for the keycaps. Also it's great for your glasses and jewelery.
Lost me when you required me to buy a keycap puller instead of using y fingers
im against pullers but doing it with your fingers sucks
What i did is just get a flat head screw driver and remove the keycaps, although my keyboard is a business membrane keyboard not a mechanical one, also almost all mechanical keyboards nowadays have a puller with them in the box.
@@mrhoneybadger5539 so what do you do then if you can't use your fingers or a keycap puller?
Used a butter knife to pop out all my keys after I took a photo of it. Used a soapy scrub brush at an angle to clean the kb body a bit, wiped with baby wipe. Then Used dish soap in a bowl and scrub brush to wash keys, poured in strainer, sprayed with water, filled bowl with clean water, poured keys in and rinsed, tossed back and forth between strainer and bowl then dumped keys on a towel and patted keys dry. Re-assembled according to picture and let it sit in the sun for a bit. Quick and decent cleaning! Thank you!
I don't know why my keyboard has small hairs 😭 who tf shaved on my keyboard 😭😭
If your arms/hands are hairy when you lose small hairs naturally
Lmao mines the same
arm hairs xdd
@@MySummerCarWeeklysame lol mostly it’s cause my cats loves to cuddle so she lays on my keyboard and gets hair everywhere but I love her alot 😂
Thanks Hipyo. this is my first time liking your video with clean hands
Wow Hipyo is so brave for showing us his dirty keyboard.
as someone who is a very casual mech keyboard enjoyer (and whose keyboard was built by my now-ex) I really appreciate this kind of video! I love my keyboard but lately it’s started acting weird and not typing correctly. I’m going to try deep cleaning it and see if that helps. As an aside, more videos on general keyboard maintenance would be awesome! Like, for instance, how to tell if a switch has gone bad / how to go about troubleshooting a keyboard that’s having typing issues.
I hope it worked!
Actually, if you don't want or can't buy a compressed air can or a blower, use a hairdryer and make sure it's blowing cold air. The air will spread more, but it's still better than nothing.
When I clean key caps I do it in a strainer that is sitting in a large bowl. Then I toss them in a food dehydrator to dry. Having a food dehydrator has been surprisingly useful over the years and I have never used it for food but drying lots of stuff like 3d printer filament.
Wow Hipyo is so brave for- kitty kitty kitty kitty she’s helping aaaa ❤ (ty for this helpful tutorial)
Me who doesn’t have a keycap puller:
oh boy.
Use a butter knife
use 2 paper clips or binder clips under opposite corners of the keycap and pull
@@emixmh 7 months late 😆I eventually got a keycap puller.
1:17 I always pull my keycaps by hand, it's just way faster + it is easier to set them into sets to later easily set back together. I think if you have a huntsman board, you should get one, because it hurts after like 40 and I don't want to do this daily on a fullsize.
Using a collander (pasta strainer) would be a great way to drain and rinse the keys.
To dry your keycaps, you can use your oven. Turn it to "warm".
Or clothes dryer after the washing machine.
I have the cool killer polar bear keyboard and I need to learn how to clean out the crevices under the keypad.
7:08 "Especially after sitting at your desk doing, doing who knows what." That phrase has multiple meanings💀
i clean my keyboard weekly
so no need for a hazmat suit
It’s all your fault Hipyo!! I’m now addicted to customising keyboards!!
All jokes aside your videos have been really inspiring as I’m new to the hobby.
He did the glarses oh yeah thing lol
Hey Hipyo! I love your vids and you're the reason I got into keyboards. Could you review the RK royal kludge m75 and possibly mod it? I bought it and I think its good but Id love to see my favorite youtuber to review it!
A cheap fine-tipped squeeze duster also works well for cleaning out under the keycaps... like the things they use to clean dust off camera optics. It's not as good as actually removing the keycaps, but it can get rid of like 90% of the gunk with only 10% of the effort and near-zero cost. I keep my hands obsessively clean, so my keycaps generally take several years to show any signs of grime... but underneath, lots of dust and hair and other stuff accumulates. So... squeezy blower to the rescue!
If you have one of those cutlery baskets for your dishwasher you can just chuck the keys in there on a cold wash and they'll be nice and sparkly! Need one that locks completely though on the top!
This is really helpful. I've wanted to clean my keyboard for a while now, but had no idea if I had to follow some kind of process to not damage it, and was scared to death I could break it. Turns out it is WAY simpler than what I thought. Thanks a lot!
that transition sound effect though...
0:13 howdy hey, I'm hiypo tech
Instructions unclear, I have discovered a bug infestation inside my keyboard.
Thanks A lot! Once I get a Keycap remover I'll be able to clean my key board!
for the compressed air, just use a blow dryer
for the keycap reover, use a butter knife, coming in from the side of the keys and popping them off
i have one of those keyboards where you look in between the keys which means i can see all the grossness and i need to clean both my keys and in between cracks i have not cleaned in 2 years not because i dont want to its cuz i never knew how this helped alot
first time cleaning my keyboard in 3 years, and well..
GODAMMMMMM
If the tap water in your area is particularly mineral rich like it is where I live, make sure to use something like distilled water for the keycaps, or they will collect the minerals as a residue and jam up the keyboard
Speaking from personal experience.
oh my god my keyboard is finally cleaned thank you so much !!!
I try to keep the plastic packaging cover on it when not in use to make it last longer but sometimes I forget and it still gets dirty 😮💨
Brush your cat if shes helping you clean... dude... my cats are the REASON im cleaning my keyboard... again. Lol
I've used Efferdent (denture cleaner) to clean my key caps. It's doesn't leave residue and it's designed to break up fats and proteins which is most of the scum on the key caps.
If you ever get blood on your fabric things from a bloody nose or papercut or what not, don't use hot water! cold water is most effective to get it out (don't let it dry out if you can help it)
And your own saliva is good for that as well.
please have another video for aluminum keyboards. Nothing works on removing the grime on them 😢
any tips for getting thermal compound off of a deskmat? 😅
Seems like im not the only one with that problem lol
IPA - isopropyl will def work.
@Hipyo Tech what keycaps are those?
Oh snap you got the EPBT Sniper caps! I got on that group buy too!
I just watched 5 of your videos back to back. Even though I am not a keyboard enthusiast.
I’m so used to Glarses ‘oh yeah~’ that I lost it when I heard your one lmao
My tip for cleaning deskmats and i been doing it like this every 2 weeks:
1. grab deskmat
2. get in shower
3. make tiles in shower wet
4. stick deskmat on wall (this will work due to anti slip)
5. use showerhead to wet up surface
6. use dish soap and a soft sided sponge to clean (do not use abbrasive sponge or all purpose cleaner, this might destroy any hydrophobic coating that's on your deskmat)
7. dry your deskmat over a drying rack (do not dry in sun as this again might damage any protective coatings)
8. you now have a clean deskmat and you've taken your biweekly gamer shower! you're welcome!
getting into the keyboard scene and moving from costar stabs to cherry was an amazing feeling :D
NOT ME JUST CLEANING MY MOUSEPAD WATCHING THIS IN SHOCK
wow hipyo is so brave for showing us his dirty keyboard
PLEASE DONT USE ALCHOHOL OR ALCHOHOL REALATED WIPES IF YOUR KEYBOARD ISNT WIRELESS. THANK ME LATER 🙏🏾
Isnt wireless? I dont get what you mean
@@_amrbadr_if it’s not wireless what is it?? wired??? in that case if your using a wired kb then don’t use alcohol
Thanks for this video, I learned how to clean my keyboard for the first time. My kitty cat got her fur all over my keyboard so it was very hairy! White fur all over the inside. I didn't have an air duster so I asked my older brother if he had one and what didja know he did. I used his electric air duster and it worked wonders! I washed my desk mat in the sink, it works.
Thanks for helpful AND humoristisk video. I shoulden be any differense for a keyboard integrated in an laptop, or?
I have a beauitful rgb keyboard and it is flat out disrespectful how it looks rights not. Thanks for the video. Lets make this baby sparkly again!
The transition noise reminds me of flithy frank nice guide, ty Mr.Hipyo
Should we tell them?
Just spent hours disassembling my entire keyboard and cleaning every part just for this to be recommended thanks youtube
Thank you for showing us the real keyboard and how dirty it is because it made me feel a lot less insecure about my own keeb!!! U da MVP!!!!
How come you didn’t take the PCB off to clean around it? Would that involve removing all the switches?
I use an ultrasonic cleaner for the key caps
What do you mean your keyboard is very dirty? Looks pretty clean to me 😂
Wow Hipyo is so brave for showing us his dirty keyboard!
I still have a few questions. What soap is safe for the color of the keycaps so they don't fade? Dish washing soap, bath soap or laundry soap?
I was literally wondering how the hell i am going to keep my white and pastel deskmat clean this week. It gets so dirty so quickly.
If you got beeswax, it works a treat. It'll basically waterproof your deskmat for a while. It doesn't affect the quality and texture of the mat once it's "baked" in.
My tip for cleaning deskmats and i been doing it like this every 2 weeks:
1. grab deskmat
2. get in shower
3. make tiles in shower wet
4. stick deskmat on wall (this will work due to anti slip)

7. dry your deskmat over a drying rack (do not dry in sun as this again might damage any protective coatings and could damage the colors, seeing how yours is white it might not matter that much but better safe then sorry)
8. you now have a clean deskmat and you've taken your biweekly gamer shower! you're welcome
7:45 did that mistake with my old G15 keyboard, said what the heck. it'll be fine... it wasn't fine. RIP glorious keyboard after 15 years of service.
I once got some dust or something in a part of the office keyboard (temporarily mine) and the S key stopped working. That they I learned I could take off keycaps (with a sharp object as it said, so I used a pencil 😅). It looked clean, so I just wiped it and soaked the cap in hot water. Worked afterwards :D
Glad to know I been doing correctly for years. A bowl of soap and water and alcohol for the keyboard and the mat just a wash and some sun dried for a clean set up. I just did it today before watching this video lol!
Bro my keyboard was so dirty its crazy ive had it for 2+ years and never cleaned this helped alot
For a complete beginner what do I do if I spilt water on my leoboh hi75... I'm crying I just bought this. I unplugged it asap
Gamer Gunk? GAMER GUNK? I snort laughed so hard my boyfriend came in to check on me.
Ughh this just reminds me that I need to clean 🫧 my keyboard lol but at least I know how to now. Thanks for the tutorial lol
Got an expensive razeer keyboard from a friend it’s a nice one but my God is it a biohazard. This helps.
Cleaning the key caps can be done with an alcohol pad if it's only a few key are gunked like mine
What would you recommend for a “chalky” sounding keyboard?
Nope. Don't use compressed air on small moving parts like a keyboard, but also things like bearings of computer fans.
It could result in dirt going deeper between the moving parts.
Also, compressed air can result in condensation droplets inside those parts.
Those electrical blowers are fine though.
Instead use a vacuum cleaner with some kind of brush attachment, or a separate brush.
...and watch out not to use too hot water for your keycaps, otherwise they could warp.
I know you shouldn't use compressed air, but what are you supposed to use instead? Just brush it for eternity...
@@UnsolicitedThoughtsOfARose vacuum cleaner is what i used and it worked flawlessly and very fast.
As my first time cleaning a keyboard, i did not use a key cap remover,
2 lego brick separators😂😂😂
I want to clean my keyboard but I don't have any cat. But what can I do, 😂😂
Is this where the Hipyo intermission sound came from?
I use a tooth brush in the soapy solution which works better for the insides of the key caps.
I have not cleaned my keyboard since i got it (5 years) so thank you wery much for showing on my youtube fyp
my cat lieks to sleep on my keyboard, and ive struggled to keep his hair out of it. 😭 just learned how to take the keycaps off, this is gonna be wonderful. oh sweet apples i miss a clean keyboard
Link to keycaps? Those are dope.
My keyboard is pretty grimey too ^^;
(Blood from nosebleeds and “projectile blood spray”, drinks, a crap ton of hair and more)
Ngl will be going back to this vid soon!
hey man I just wanted to clean some slight dust off my keyboard I didn't want to see 500 images of fungus infested, vomit inducing keyboards
I actually taught my sons, who all play games, how to do this years ago because their keyboards would get so nasty! Great and very thorough!
Wow, so brave for showing us!!
I just cleaned mine today for first time since new - 7 years, and inside was disgusting - mostly just dust and hair bit it's humid here so all stuck on. It's not a hot swap board which makes me sad... (Just got my first keycap puller today). Oh and cleaning between the switches is much easier with a round-brush electric toothbrush.
What happened to the hippo avatar? I really liked it.
7:30 Tossing key caps...makes me hungry....
Hey @Hipyo can you do a video on how to modify (dampen) a wireless keyboard such as the Keychron K4? Im not sure where to start given the internals (battery+wiring).
Hipyo could you please sell these again during christmas!
Hey! That is exactly how I clean my double shot keycaps! But I still don't know how to clean dye sub keycaps safely😂
love that glarses transition lol
great video but why are the captions so low quality lol
Bro says under an hour I’am in 3 minutes and already have to buy 2 items of the internet
Should I do the same thing if it a keyboard that is connected to the computer?
😁 Amazing tips
Hey Hipyio! And how you clean switches that are used over a year, Recently I Changed the switches of my keyboard, and i want to relube them. But when I opened them they had like little rocks (I dont know how to describe it) or things like that, Right now I'm trying with ultrasonic cleaner, dishsoap and warm water.
I….uh… accidentally spilt apple juice on my desk and my keyboard thank fully I got it cleaned up but now my beautiful clicky clacky keys are sticky and don’t click😢 so I definitely needed this and any advice
If you're not afraid of scratching the keycaps, the soapy water trick works with a plastic bag.. just dump everything in there and shake shake shake... pour into a sieve and rinse with warm water.. let airdry over night or wrap them in a towel(not paper, use actual towel) and shake shake shake and theyre 95% dry in a minute xd
9:10 bruh, H2O2 will bleach the shit out of fabric.......... you just want to sell more deskmats dont you!? yea im onto you mister
Use a Q-tip with the peroxide and only dot the area with blood staying clear of the surrounding area.
Can you do a review on the hyperx alloy origins keyboard. I have red switches and it sounds really good.
Thanks!
0:46 got weird filthy flashbacks
