Take care of it as much as you take care of the other parts of your computer, besides how can you work efficiently or do the things you love on your computer without a keyboard?.

  • Hold it upside down to release any debris from in between the keys. Slightly pressing the keys will help to release it.
  • Use your can of compressed air to blow the dust or any debris around the keys or use a vacuum to suck all dirts.
