I have the apple wireless keyboard, and it has gotten a little dirty. Is it possible to pop the keys off with out breaking the keyboard?? I am always scared to do anything like this to my mac product, so I want to make sure its ok to do before I jump right in.

Yup! Pop them all off, remember where they go (take a pic), put them in a jug full of hot, soapy water, shake them around for a bit, then strain the keys, put them on a towel and let them dry for a few hours..
in the mean time, compressed air out the keyboard itself.

I did that once and got tired of doing it, so I got an iSkin for my keyboard. :)

On the pic you could use an apple usb keyboard as a guide for putting back the bluetooth :apple: keyboard
