1. How often should I clean my keyboard?

Quick clean: once a week. Deep clean: every few months or after spills.

2. Can I wash the whole keyboard under water?

No – only the keycaps. Never the case or electronics.

3. How long should keycaps dry after washing?

At least 24 hours, ideally 48.

4. What if I don't have compressed air?

Use a brush or a hair dryer on cool mode.

5. Can I use regular wipes?

Yes, if they’re only lightly damp. Don’t use anything dripping wet.

6. A key isn't working after cleaning – what now?

Check if it’s seated correctly. Dust under the switch? Use air or a swab.

Not recommended. Stick to isopropyl alcohol or mild soap.

8. Will the letters fade on the keys?

Not on high-quality boards like UVI. Cheap ones might wear over time.

Yes, if applied correctly – with a cloth or swab, never poured directly.

You can remove keycaps safely. Avoid disassembling laptops.

Weekly wipe-downs, a keyboard cover, and clean hands before typing.

12. How do I clean RGB-lit keys?

Use soft brushes and compressed air. Apply alcohol only on cloth/swabs.
