duhdrummer Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Somehow :shifty: i've managed to do something to my enter key, and now it appears that there's some kind of very mild adhesive :shifty: substance under it. It's annoying, as you all can imagine, because once it gets pressed, which it gets pressed quite often, it stays down. Is there a way to clean this (and if so how), or someway to take off the key and see what's causing this stickyness :shifty: ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMeK Veteran Posted September 28, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 28, 2003 the keys just pop out, use a knife to level they key out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 just pull the key out and put a bit of shaving cream on the buttom, take a toothbrush and brush it, let it sit for a couple mins, then brush again. Then you just wipe off the shaving creme put the key back on and you're set. I know this sounds odd, but shaving creme works wonders...even on rust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dacris2000 Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 its also an alcohol, which makes it a very good cleanernearly all cleaning products contain alcohol :yes: I believe that would be 'butanol'. Butane is a flammable gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a_witko Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Yeh... we all know what "mild adhesive" means... (www.bunnyteens.com) I clean my keyboard like once every couple months from crumbs etc. I took a photo of my keyboard, popped out all the keys, got the vacuum cleaner and a microfibre cloth from the kitchen and cleaned the hell out of it. After that, your keyboards value DOUBLES. It's amazing after... all the keys work so smoothly! To avoid your problem next time champ, get yourself a girlfriend.
