Filco KB cleanup

[derekliu]

Today has some free time, so decided to clean my Filco KB after 2 years!

Before cleaning

Remove all the keypads (all the unseen dust OMG)

After cleaning, remove the dust and vaccuming

Reinstalling back the keypad

Overall took about 2hrs, omg very tedious for the whole cleanup!

This is why I use an old t-shirt to cover my kb and mouse when not using. The dust build up is really crazy.

Threw away after awhile with the box. And its more troublesome to put aside than t-shirt.

Erh..that puller should be given with keyboard purchase?
If not given then most likely can't be pulled?

i tried cleaning it. its very tedious task.

is there such service provider?

i rather send my KB for services.

i done a few times it quite time consuming. each key need to be clean.

keyboard need to scrap, vacuum and alcohol swap it.
