Is it OK to soak keyboard keys in water?

Soak your keycaps in warm soapy water to remove any dust or grime. Ideally, swish them around for the first 5-10 minutes, and then let them soak for an additional 45 minutes. Shoot some canned air into the board to further remove any straggling lint or dirt.

This guide is an approved keyboard cleaning method from our product team to keep your gear free of dirt and grime. New year, new you, right? Well, the keyboard you have in front of you probably hasn't come out of the box recently. As we flip our calendars again, this is a great opportunity to refresh and clean out your inventory of gear, and the keyboard is one device where neglecting the nooks and crannies can hurt your gear long-term. A clean keyboard is one that is less likely to fail on you. Don’t let crumbs, dust, crust, and dirt mess with your keypresses. Here's how to clean your keyboard!

You will need:

A bit of mild dish soap mixed into warm water (not too foamy)

Canned air

Microfiber cloth

Q-tips

Steps:

Unplug your keyboard – don’t want to break it while cleaning it! Turn the keyboard upside down and give it a good shake to get some of the debris loose. Using a keycap puller, start removing keycaps. (Pro tip: take a picture of your keyboard beforehand for reference, so you can easily return all the keys to the right place.) After removing they keycaps, turn your keyboard upside down and give it a good ole shake once more. Do this outside so you won’t transfer all the dirt to your desk. Soak your keycaps in warm soapy water to remove any dust or grime. Ideally, swish them around for the first 5-10 minutes, and then let them soak for an additional 45 minutes. Shoot some canned air into the board to further remove any straggling lint or dirt. Using the cloth dipped in soapy water and q-tips, wipe down your keyboard to your desired cleanliness level, making sure to remove excess moisture. Be sure to wring out as much water from the cloth as possible - you don’t want to risk getting a drop of water in your keyboard. It's best to entirely avoid wiping the actual switches, especially the top, since any dampness could cause damage. Remove the keycaps from their soapy water soak and wipe them down to clean any lingering grime, if necessary. Allow to air dry on a towel (letter side up) for at least 6 hours. If you simply dry them off with a towel and immediately return them to the keyboard, there is a risk that moisture trapped in the stems will drip down and kill the switch. Make sure everything is dry before reassembling. Take pictures to prove to your friends (and yourself) that you’re not a slob. Repeat as necessary.

Enjoy your clean keyboard!

Note: While we don't recommend them, if you do choose to use sprays, wipes, or any other cleaning and disinfecting products on your equipment, please carefully read all labels to ensure safe and correct use for both your belongings and your own health. Disclaimer: Do not remove the keycaps on the Apex 3, as those aren't meant to be removed. Sorry about that.

timeout.com - 45 Best Pop Songs of the 21st Century - Time Out

The best pop songs of this century are groundbreaking, chart-topping, downright famous hits that’ll have you singing at the top of your lungs Time was, ‘pop’ meant manufactured acts whose music erred towards the disposable. Sure, there were a few certified geniuses like Michael Jackson or Madonna. But for all the units shifted, in the twentieth-century pop never seemed to be the zeitgeist artform of the day: the Beatles weren’t pop; Pink Floyd weren’t pop; Dolly Parton wasn’t pop; NWA weren’t pop. At the dawn of the new millennium, all the rules for pop went out the window. A complicated series of cultural shifts that can largely be attributed to the internet kicked in: suddenly the bottom fell out of the market for guitar-based music, and suddenly it was sophisticated pop production that was getting the audiophiles drooling. It’s an age we’re absolutely still living through, with little sign of letting up. And so, for this list, we’ve taken a long listen to some of the biggest bangers of the last 20-plus years and did what feels nearly impossible: we’ve ranked them. As a genre, pop has always been nebulously defined, so while we’ve broadly speaking excluded rock, country and hip-hop (though elements of all those things appear), you’ll find R&B jams, dance-floor fillers and insanely catchy earworms not even the snootiest of snobs can deny. These are the best pop songs of the twenty-first century.
