How often do you do it? I usually just throw mine out every few months. But Today i decided to clean it with windex and it came out nice. I like this keyboard.

What do you nerds do?

Just did mine a month or so ago. I do it every six months to a year I guess. I take it apart, soak the keys in oxiclean, clean out the drip tray and cover then put it all back together. I like my G series keyboards (Logitech) and am at them all damn day so they get pretty scummy. Daily/weekly though I blow it out with my duster and wipe off the keys.

wow that is serious! I have never done that. I either windex the key and blow it out. Or if it's too nasty just throw it out.

Turn upside down.

Shake.

Free snack.

Replace 10.00 keyboard with new 10.00 keyboard when it finally breaks. Buy new ones about 2-3 times a year.

It is actually really easy. About three dozen screws later and it is in nice manageable bits.

Slide the power button on the back to "OFF" then spray pledge for electronics on a cloth to wipe the outside, also vacuum.

I finding licking it clean is a tasty and effective adventure.

But my delight, yes, always mine,
