Before you even add any water, hold the keyboard upside down and tap. You'd be surprised how much dirt and crumbs will fall out. Those will be harder to remove once you use water.

[@dimas-vd]

Holy hell i held my keyboard upside and tapped and there was falling crumbs out good.

[@Mbaeac]

BRUH thank you so much for the help, my keyboard was so dirty the d key was not working, but now for some reason my space bard sounds weird

[@CNYsmile]

Bought a new keyboard - and cleaned the old (2-3yr old one) as per video. Worked great and now I have a great-back-up all ready to go in an emergency or if someone I know needs one.

[@ed_lifts]

Thank you for this. I picked up my first mechanical keyboard second-hand today (absolute steal, £20) and it's very dusty. I've ordered a can of compressed air, and I'll try this out when it arrives tomorrow.

[@Organizing-TV]

Awesome! :)

[@AbdulYTT]

Thank u so much I was waiting for this

[@Organizing-TV]

No problem! If you have any other things you need help with cleaning, feel free to send me a message

[@carlleverund]

Very nice 🙌 Gotta get a compressed air can

[@Organizing-TV]

Hey Carl! Yes, it is worth the investment if you like to keep your equipment clean

[@KobyPakka]

or a vaccum with a end on it so it doesnt suck the keys up

yey thanksss!!!! i was waiting for this!!

[@Organizing-TV]

I hope it was worth the wait!

[@projectbumblejeep4190]

Have you ever put your cordless keyboard in the dishwasher? Had a friend tell that it works great. I've never tried. God bless and stay well.

[@Organizing-TV]

I haven't tried that. It sounds a bit strange to me, but I'd love to hear back if you end up trying it

[@PA-jh2dr]

No, but I have also never tried to take a warm bath with a plugged-in hair dryer, but that's just me.

[@leighmurrell5494]

Clear and simple - thanks.

[@leahnewyork]

Also 1. use a rather firm but not too firm, adequately long-bristled brush to get into the cracks and dislodge some of the caked-on dirt, and 2. leverage gravity: turn board upside down and tap it to allow loose debris to fall out.

[@kiyoshiotda442]

Great video. If one doesnt want to buy a compressed air can and has a hair dryer handy, the latter will work (no heat setting).

[@Organizing-TV]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing

it works on chinese gaming non mechanical keyboard?

Yes

Thanks!

thanks brother

[@Organizing-TV]

No worries! I’m glad it was helpful

[@bandkgrover]

Water or soapy water?

[@Organizing-TV]

If you can get away with just water that’s best. If you use soap make sure to clean it with just water after to get rid of all the soap

[@tallie_media]

i was waiting for this do you think i should clean my mehcaical keyboard i just got i t a month ago there is a little dust on it ad in it

[@Organizing-TV]

Sure. Keyboards get dirty pretty fast, so cleaning it now would be good. It will also be faster to clean it now than if you wait longer.

[@lakaynemar]

is it ok without a air compreser?

[@Organizing-TV]

Yes it is ok to not use an air compressor or compressed air cans, but it won't be as effective

[@jarlfced]

i am kinda scared will the soapy water go in the keyboard and ruin it??

[@Organizing-TV]

From my personal experience it has been fine. But if you’re worried, you could try to just use water. I do that on a lot of my other electronics, it just takes more time

[@turbompson4546]

yes, dont use water at all.

[@jarlfced]

@@turbompson4546 you’re 3 years late and water never affected my keyboard

[@mentaritravel1004]

I saw Chinese product selling small silicone brush, wonder if it cleans well

[@Organizing-TV]

That's really interesting. I'd love to hear how it worked if you decide to get one

[@jereeskola7117]

Does it work with normal cloth

[@Organizing-TV]

If you don't have a microfiber cloth, you can use a normal one. But microfiber cloths are better :)

[@Elliacks]

what if soapy water with bubbles get between the keys ?

[@Organizing-TV]

I’d try to gently clean it out with water on a cloth, but the air will get most of it so I wouldn’t worry so much unless it was a lot of soap

[@icexmady5158]

could you use those hand held vaccums and replace the air compressor with the like vaccum

[@Organizing-TV]

Vacuuming the keyboard is better than doing nothing for sure. But in my experience the compressed air is a lot more effective. Maybe consider taking the keys off too if you're going to vacuum it

[@AbdulYTT]

I have led lights in it will that damage the lights

[@Organizing-TV]

I have led lights in mine too, and this is how I always clean it. They work totally fine. But to be safe, do as I said in the video, and make sure that the keyboard is dry before you use it again :)

[@revolverocelot3741]

Perfect.

[@Organizing-TV]

Thanks man! Im glad it was helpful

[@_rxkii4962]

Actually I don't have one of those compressed air things so is there any other thing I can use?

[@Organizing-TV]

You can try cotton buds and a vacuum cleaner, but it won't be as effective

[@_rxkii4962]

@@Organizing-TV OK thx for the reply

[@Organizing-TV]

@@_rxkii4962 No worries!

[@satvikkapoor23859]

Won't water damage the keyboard?

[@Organizing-TV]

Make sure that it's dry before you plug it back in ad you'll be good :)

[@randomguyontheinternet7940]

Could using soapy water possibly damage the keyboard?

[@Organizing-TV]

It has been fine on mine. But if you're worried, using water only works decently well too.

[@eggfightxd8017]

@@Organizing-TV no u ccan also use colin water

[@russtycrussty7884]

How do you dry it in between the keys

[@Organizing-TV]

The compressed air blows out the water quickly :) Otherwise you probably need to place it somewhere warm, or a fan would probably work too. It will take a lot longer though

[@elisdurr]

do u NEED an air thing

[@Organizing-TV]

You don’t NEED it. You could use a vacuum instead, but it won’t be as effective

[@elisdurr]

@@Organizing-TV ohh okay, thanks!

[@isaacng4306]

I have a question, does this also fix some of your switches if some aren't responding? When like a key doesn't respond as soon you click on it?

[@Organizing-TV]

Sadly I haven't had any issues with the switches on my keyboard, so I'm not sure. But it would be interesting to hear back from you if you try it.

Anyone knows what the air compressor does?

Picture the opposite of a vacuum cleaner. You can get small cans with compressed air too instead of the machine

@@Organizing-TV can i also use vacuum cleaner instead of air compressor?

[@Organizing-TV]

@@malatimandal6252 sorry about replying so late. I'm on vacation. You can use a vacuum, but it won't be nearly as effective. But if that's what you have to work with, I'd say go for it

L on the soapy water. Good way to completly f up your keyboard.

[@SYN30STM]

Wouldn't it be easy to clean with alcohol?

[@Organizing-TV]

I haven't tried that myself. But if you do, I'd love to hear how it turns out
