Q re laptop keyboards
« on: 26 September 2009, 23:33:23 »

Am I right in thinking that they can be removed for cleaning, too many crumbs etc making keys difficult to use without being slow and adding extra pressure.. ::)

Usually dust mine with the blow gun on the airline, shifts all sorts of crud from the keyboard.
Alternatively turning your lappy keyboard down and giving it a gentle shake may help dislodge crumbs etc.

A pair of glasses is a good idea, in case the crumbs end up in your eyes.  :'(

Get a new paint brush and aggitate between the kays as well.  If you use it in a way as to oush the brisstles you will be surprised what it may dislodge and help to remove.   :y
