Key Contact Cleaner

[Dave Britten]

I've done exactly the same thing, but with strips cut from index cards and then slightly moistened with alcohol. Each strip is only good for cleaning maybe one row of keys, but the roughness of the paper works wonders for scraping out contaminants, and using multiple strips to clean the whole keyboard helps ensure you aren't just dragging the same dirt through later keys. My 65, 45, and 80 keyboards are like new after doing this, with no bounce whatsoever. It's a shame TI didn't build their keyboards in such a way that they could be cleaned like this.
