Sam, they should all just pop off if you get something underneath them and lever gently.

I prefer turning it upside down and smashing it against the desk.

Buy one of those cans of air. I can't remember what it's called. But it's literally a spray can that sprays a jet of air and blows out all the dust, dead skin, food and toenail clippings from your keyboard.

Or you could do what I did once and remove all the keys, clean the keyboard thoroughly, then forget which order the keys go back on!! I think I got the qwerty bit right and the numbers 1 to 9....

Morte trouble than it's worth - as said, use a vacuum with a brush attachment.

Hi stylinsam,

I agree with the paintbrush method. A new paintbrush kept specially for your computer is an ideal way to keep your keyboard clean. I give mine a one over nearly every day. I always keep it covered with a clean duster when not in use.

I got a soppy little computer care set from my sister in law one Christmas, it was a nice thought, but it was useless. There was no suction.

Champagnes removal of the keys is something that I would do. Made me laugh though!

Why would anyone have toenail cuttings in their keyboard?

Most people don't know this but because there are no electical parts in the keyboard, it is fine to immerse it in water! So long as you make sure you get it dried out completely afterwards!
