I just eventually buy a new keyboard LOL
and you are not the only one who eats at the pc
heh

what about when it is a laptop, not gonna tip upside down and tap the laptop LOL
(in the case of the laptop, canned air helps blow away the crumbs)

on normal keyboards I have been known to take them apart and wash them completely (and yes you can do that, just remember where the keys go LOL)

They make little mini vacuums that work great. I also every once in awhile pop off all my keys and get a bottle of alcohol and q-tips and clean all the lil nooks and crannies.

Edit: Make sure you use alcohol and not water for this. The alcohol will not damage any parts of the keyboard and evaporates quickly. You can clean your laptops keyboard the same way.

And for all you who are scared to pop off the keys for fear of breaking them. Don't be. The bigger keys might be a bit tricker to put back on, but they are all designed to pop on and off. You won't be breaking anything by taking them off.

I really think I'm due for a major taking apart and cleaning it by hand, but I'll probably go with your 1st suggestion and buy a new one... I just know I'll lose e few of the keys.

Some years ago I once ruined a keyboard during I was playing. There was that can of a brown, sugar and phosphoric acid containing, soda on my desk...and with my elbow I knocked it over by accident ...and half of the fluid ran into the keyboard and under and around the keys... I was too lazy to clean it immediately..I will never ever hesitate again to do this, cos the next morning I had to break off every single key with a screwdriver
