Suzuka Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 The inside of my apple keyboard is getting kinda nasty and disgusting, how can I open it up and wash it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbic Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Are we talking about one of their external USB keyboards? You should be able to just pop the keys off and clean beneath them, like on a regular PC keyboard. Takes a little force, but you're not likely to break anything. Actually, you can do the same on a laptop keyboard. I've popped keys off my MBP a few times, mostly just to see if I could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric.C Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 if it's not a wireless keyboard and it's not battery powered, throw it in the dishwasher, leave it to dry for a day or two and u can use it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Putting a white apple keyboard in a dishwasher is a bad idea. The heat/solvents may destroy the sensitive electronics and ruin the plastic. Just unscrew it and clean it with a damp cloth. hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
