Hey everyone,

I have an M4 MBA and wanted to see what everyone does to clean their keyboard? Mainly looking for ways to get the dust etc out between the keys.

Thanks!
 
First, I use a brush attachment on a regular vacuum cleaner. It will also get some of the dust that gets in the cracks.

Second, if the keyboard is a little oily wiping with a dry paper towel will get most of that off.

Not sure what to recommend for cleaning. I use a very slightly damp low-lint cloth…then dry with another cloth. I avoid any cleaning fluids but maybe someone knows of something safe.

Combo of "cheap conventional toothbrush + soft tissue paper" also does the same trick. ;)
