LOL! Yes, that's definitely the less expensive way. Its very shocking to see what comes out though.......VERY shocking.

I just buy a new keyboard every two months or so Tibby likes to spill drinks on my keyboard and I like to drink while I'm at the computer, so my keyboards are always getting ruined. I just buy the cheap $10 ones.

My brother has a keyboard vacuum. I use that and it works good lol. I get A LOT of fun out of it O_O

My husband takes ours out to his shop and uses his air gun on them. The last time he did it, it was so dirty that he took it apart to get all the cat hairs out of it. It was almost like getting a new keyboard it was so clean.

I am going to try some of these ideas, even mine at work is dirty with crumbs.

Very! Make sure you shake it out over the trash can, or you'll end up having to vacuum the floor.

We use canned air, also, however, a pet owner's keyboard is probably never truly free of pet hair. We have a Mac, and our keyboard is clear. If you turn it over, you can see quite a bit of cat hair with no way to get it out!

hey,

what i do is clean my keyboard by taking all the keys off it and get a damp cloth and just clean it and gently wipe the buttons too.it really helps the keys work better,and gets rid of the annoying sticky keys. you'd be surprized of what is in your keyboards its really nasty.

of course i unhook it first then pull up my screen key board or even use an old keyboard .....................just make sure it matches your present one.the best thing to do is use your screen keyboard.

take care
