    Wait what does baking/dehydrating them do? I cleaned mine a month ago but didn't know that was some kind of step.

    My key cap cleaning process is an ultrasonic cleaner with a little dish soap, then if I want to speed up the drying process they get thrown in a dehydrator at 140° F (60° C). Otherwise air drying on a towel is perfectly fine if time isn't an issue.

    I am not this organized; instead I lift off a few keys randomly now and then and brush off the gunk.

    I keep missing the number pad

    I picked up a nice mechanical keyboard at the goodwill. Two keys were sticky. I kept meaning to clean them, but typing on them and pulling up on the key to unstick it a few hundred times seems to have fixed the problem.

    Nice. I need to clean both of my daily drivers. The one at home i haven't cleaned in a few months. The white keys hide nothing. My work one has been almost two years. I'm good about dusting it, but I need to thoroughly clean it like this.
