In fact, not only the keyboard is cleaned, but many devices related to electronic components can be cleaned with this method.

2. Hair dryer
For mechanical keyboards, the key gaps are the most difficult to clean. On keyboards with light dust accumulation, a hair dryer is a good choice. Open the cold air to blow on the gap of the mechanical keyboard. A large amount of dust and hair can be removed. The main thing to do is not to use it in the bedroom. It is better to use it in the toilet. The dust and other things blown out can be cleaned better.

On the basis of hair dryer, vacuum cleaner is a good choice. Different from general vacuum cleaners, there are many small vacuum cleaners on the market for keyboards that can directly suck out dust and solve the problem of blowing all over the sky.

4. Brush
For stains that are not easy to remove, such as hair, we can use a brush to slowly clean them. This method requires a lot of work and takes a lot of time to clean, but the cleaning effect is much better than that of the hair dryer.
