Cleaning Keyboard Keys

Post by t0nyt »

When cleaning the keys on my QL keyboard the tops are great (I replaced the return & space as they had some scuffing), but I find q-tips won’t get right into the bottom edge around the shaped part of each key

I was wondering what others use to clean please?

Many thanks

Cleaned them with IPA wipe and fingernails in the end

I nearly passed out when I sniffed the wipe…

Tip: Don’t sniff the wipe

I didn't realise that India Pale Ale had that effect! I'm going to have to swap from Iso-Propyl Alcohol in that case! :D
