How to Use The Keyboard Buddy
Cleaning Your Keyboard
Step 1: Unplug Your Keyboard
Before you start, ensure that your keyboard is unplugged from your computer. This will prevent any accidental key presses and ensure safety during cleaning.
Step 2: Remove Keycaps with the Keycap Puller
Begin by using the keycap puller to gently remove the keycaps from your keyboard. This will allow you to clean the areas beneath the keycaps more thoroughly. Be careful not to force the keycaps off to avoid damaging them. Important Note: The keycap puller should only be used on mechanical keyboards, as it may damage other types of keyboards.
Step 3: Clean Underneath the Keycaps
Once the keycaps are removed, use the flocking sponge to clean the dust and debris from the exposed areas. For stubborn dirt, lightly spray the flocking sponge with the cleaning solution from the micro spray bottle. This will help loosen and remove grime effectively.
Step 4: Clean the Keycaps
Spray the micro brush with a small amount of the cleaning solution and use it to clean each keycap individually. Avoid spraying the keycaps directly to prevent excess moisture. Ensure each keycap is thoroughly cleaned and dried before reattaching them to the keyboard.
Step 5: Clean the Keyboard Surface
Use the large high-density brush to clean the surface of the keyboard. Its firm bristles are perfect for sweeping away any remaining dust and debris. For a more thorough clean, you can also lightly spray the brush with the cleaning solution.
Step 6: Detail Clean with the Foldable Cleaning Pen
The foldable cleaning pen is perfect for detailed cleaning. Use the detachable silicone tip to clean tight areas and scrape off small bits of debris from keycaps and mouse buttons. The precision tip underneath is ideal for reaching narrow spaces, while the micro brush can be used for final polishing.
Step 7: Reassemble Your Keyboard
After all the components are clean and dry, carefully reattach the keycaps to your keyboard. Make sure each keycap is securely in place.
Cleaning Your Mouse
Step 1: Unplug Your Mouse
Before cleaning, ensure your mouse is unplugged from your computer to prevent any accidental clicks and ensure safety.
Step 2: Clean the Mouse Surface
For cleaning your mouse, do not spray the cleaning solution directly onto the device. Instead, spray the flocking sponge or micro brush lightly and use them to clean the mouse surface, paying special attention to the side buttons and any crevices.
Step 3: Detail Clean with the Foldable Cleaning Pen
Use the detachable silicone tip of the foldable cleaning pen to clean tight areas around the buttons and the scroll wheel. The precision tip underneath can reach narrow spaces, and the micro brush can be used for polishing any remaining areas.
