What is the best way to remove crumbs from my computer's keyboard?

Okay, I admit it: I eat while sitting at my PC. The evidence? Crumbs in my keyboard's crevices.

One detail: I use a mini-keyboard, smaller than most. Any advice would be most welcome. Asked by primerib 41 months ago Similar questions: remove crumbs computer's keyboard Computers > Hardware > Desktops & Laptops.

Simple but sounds foolish! Turn it upside down, and "spank" it briskly! I know it sounds foolish and to easy...but it works every single time and actually is recommended by keyboard makers.Blessings.........Annlee Sources: ME Video Added this cute video to remind you..>Chocolate from donuts may not be removed by spanking...lol Blessings...........Annlee .

Having been in IT/Tech support for a long time, I can tell you dirty keyboards are a pain, but not a big problem... The great news, they don't cost much. Obviously, you know NOT to eat over/by/around your computer. The good news is that most keyboards of quality have a plastic ’shield’ under the keys for just such a thing.

I learned the hard way, a knocked over cup of hot coffee with cream and sugar does wonders for electronics! OK, to answer your question. With your computer off, unplug your keyboard Turn your Keyboard almost upside down, and rap, rap, rap it several times on a desk, knowing full well that it will spill it’s contents all over.

NOT so hard it causes keys to fly, but not too light, than nothing falls out. Next, turn it completely upside down, and shake it hard. It will continue to rain stuff.

Now, turning it almost upside down, leaning one edge on a desk, spray canned air up into the keyboard to continue to dislodge the tough chunks. Finally, get a package of electronic cleaning cloths and some Q-tips. Clean the key tops, sides and inbetween.

Use the Q-tip with the cloth over it to get between. Also, if you have your keyboard on a pullout tray, wipe that out too! Anyway, I’m sure you’ll continue to eat over your keyboard, most people do.Be sure to do this a few times a year to keep your keyboard working fine and healthy!

Canned air $14.00 at Wal-Mart or most electronics stores Anti-static Cleaning cloths $8.00 at Wal-Mart and most electronic stores Sources: Personal Experience, listed above .

There are a few things you can try... Start with the simplest; turn the keyboard upside down (so that the keys face downward) and shake it gently. Or use a can of pressurized air (available from any computer or office supplies store) to blow the crumbs out. Or use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the crumbs out...

I do the same.... I use a condensed air spray can. This gets all those little crumbs out. Hold it over your trash and blast away......

1 Oh, I am so bad at that! At work,I use the high pressured air hose in the shop to get rid of the evidence. At home, I use compressed air.

Can liquid seep through a laptops keyboard and cause damage.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
