Re: Pop the keys
cerving 10th Sep 2009
It must have been a pretty old keyboard. Most keyboards have rubber membrane "domes" molded out of a single piece of rubber, and the keys aren't designed to be removed. If you do manage to get the keys off, they sometimes won't stay on. Laptop keys are very fragile, you're likely to break the pivot on them trying to get them off. We get laptops with missing keys all the time. Compressed air (NOT "canned air", which is really difloroethane) works well for getting the crud out, as does just giving it a good whack. Clorox disinfectant wipes work well for cleaning the keys.
