![]() ![]() Q: What kind of a geek are you, can’t you remember the layout of the keys?Ī: I know where 98% of the keys go. Around 25 was spent cleaning the keys, 15 for the whole keyboard and another ten for putting it all together and finding all the keys. That’s what most people have said, anyway.Ī: Not as long as you might think. Q: It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to do this, this is useless!Ī: If that’s what you think, I’m cool with that Now onto the point: For those who are inexperienced, or are scared of doing it in case something goes wrong, or just don’t know how to do it, it is very useful and can be of great benefit. I know I could go online, but why should I pay money for a new keyboard when this works perfectly. ![]() Q: What is the point in this? Can’t you just buy another keyboard?Ī: I suppose I could but the nearest Apple store is around 50/60 miles away.

If you do though, anything you do is at your own risk! I wouldn’t venture into this area, as I would hate to pay to replace the keyboard, they are very expensive. Underneath the keys, the electronics is tightly packed, so you should only wipe with a dry cloth or a duster. They also come loose very easily so if you do clean it, then be very careful. Make sure to remove the battery first though!įor laptops, the keys a very different, as they contain two ’scissor’ clips which can be very hard to refit. However if you are going to try and clean underneath the white plastic, be careful as you could damage the electronics. Q: Does this work for the Bluetooth keyboard, or on laptops?Ī: From what I know, the cleaning process for the Bluetooth version of Apple’s keyboard should be the same. If you find that it doesn’t work, you can always remove the clip (not really ‘essential’ for the smaller keys), buy some more lubrication grease at a DIY or electronics shop, and then use it sparingly on the clips and replace. As long as you don’t remove it from these clips, it is fine to clean it from the keys and the keyboard. What is it, can I remove it?Ī: This is from the grease that lubricates the ‘attachment’ clips so that they can move freely. ![]() Q: There seems to be some sort of oil under the keys. If you want to, you can try it, but I can’t be held responsible for any errors you make. Yes, you could remove the detergent and the heat, but then there isn’t any soap. Dishwashers and washing machines have chemicals in their detergent, as well as salt, which could damage the electronics. Even then there is a risk that the keyboard won’t work. But I use my Mac a lot, and it will take much longer to wait for everything to dry. Q: Why don’t you put it through the dishwasher / washing machine?Ī: Yeah, I’ve heard that one too. ![]()
