So I I have a grey keyboard and naturally being on it all day everyday it gets pretty dirty. Up to now I have just been cleaning the keycaps by wetting a paper towel slightly and washing off the dirt/grime whatever off the top of the keys. I have been trying to clean the inside of my keyboard out with those compressed air cans and whatnot. But those methods are not working anymore so my question is what are other methods of cleaning your keyboard.
Now I HEARD that you can clean a mechanical keyboard in the washer with no soap. I have never tried this and I have seen a lot of information about it but I am not sure if it is okay for ALL mechanical keyboards. I have a Realforce Topre which is a really expensive mechanical keyboard. I honestly don't even know if the switches of my keyboard are safe to put in the washer because they are a hybrid type of switch that is a mix of mechanical spring based switch and rubber dome switch. So is it safe to put in the washer? I mean I know some keybaords you just wrap end of the wire USB or whatever with plastic and seal it so water can't get in and then let it dry for at least a day before you plug it back in... but I don't know really if I can so that.
Also if this won't work with my board what are some other ways of cleaning my keyboard that you would recommend?
