So, I decided to clean my keyboard today because it was just disgusting and I'm still waiting for the keycaps to completely dry. That was almost 12 hours ago. I thought about having the Arizona sun dry them, but then I thought it'd be more likely for them to melt than dry lol
i use my dishwasher lol
yes, really

this is a try-at-your-own-risk sort of thing but i've successfully used this method to clean two separate keyboards, and one of them has even survived several dishwashing cycles completely unharmed
and they always come out spotless and functioning as they should be, as far as i can tell
i wouldn't chuck any keyboard worth more than a few dozen dollars into a dishwasher, let alone one containing any fancy electronics (like displays or backlighting etc.), but for my cheap $20 keyboards this method has proven very effective and quite simple lol
of course, they must be 100% complete dry before any attempt to plug them in again, and as keyboards are full of nooks and crannies that takes no fewer than like 5 days
not girl;
Wait until I spill something sticky on it and then hate myself and take all my keycaps off and clean with a qtip and rubbing alcohol. Often soak keycaps if they are bad
Happens once or twice a year
I like to let the natural air and the bacteria on my hands cleanse it
I just turn it upside down and shake out the debris
