Greasy Keys

[PerryTheBadAss]

Hey guys i bought a keyboard last November/black friday after my mechanical keyboard stopped working. I replaced by a Razer Deadstalker that i got from newegg for $20 on special it is worth this price if if it's not mechanical. But i have a huge complain about it, even your fingers are clean (you just washed them), the keyboard begin to look at it have some grease on it. i have tried cleaning the keys with a wet towel slowly but that doesn't take care of the problem. Does anyone know something i can do to fix this problem ?

Soap and water

 

Maybe your hands are just naturally oily.

I talked a friend into buying a used mechanical keyboard once and the first thing we did when it arrived was clean it. You can add a little soap to warm water and soak the keycaps in it. Then scrub them a little, and leave them to dry. That helped.

A more permanent solution is buying PBT keycaps. It's a more durable kind of plastic that doesn't let light shine through it (so not great for backlit keyboards if you want to see the letters) but has a nicer slightly more rough texture and doesn't get shiny as fast.

Clean with 70%+ rubbing alcohol and keep a bottle of baby or talcum powder on your desk and keep your hands powdered.

Plush micro fiber towel every couple day should help.
