How to easily remove dust accumulated in the back of the keyboard

Facing the ``cleaning of the keyboard'' that has been pretending not to be seen

　In the telework environment, customization such as increasing the number of PC monitors and changing settings is mostly not.

When I was involved in editing and writing PC manuals such as the "Dekiru Series", I used the reader's standard (considered) environment on a daily basis, so the default environment is not bad if you get used to it. You can say that you don't have to bother with customization.

However, I am somewhat picky about keyboards, and have been using Logitech products for a long time. There are a wide variety of keyboards for PCs, but Logitech's products are the best when it comes to choosing a standard key arrangement and size that has no peculiarities, a good feeling of keystrokes, and a compact one. I feel the taste of the slim keyboard of the former "Justy" brand.

I used to use a wireless keyboard, but it broke down 4 or 5 years ago, so I replaced it with a USB connected product. I bought a new PC in 2020 when the company transitioned to telework, but I disposed of the keyboard that came with it and continue to connect the Logitech keyboard. It's a model called "K120", but when I looked at Amazon, it was out of stock (maybe because it's old, starting in 2013?　It seems that you can order it on Logitech's site).

When using a keyboard with a certain amount of deep keystrokes, the dirt on the keys is a real concern. The key tops are occasionally wiped clean, but the sides (slopes?) and between the keys are difficult to clean, and dust accumulates.

　To be honest, I don't look at the keyboard at work, so it doesn't bother me. However, when I suddenly look at the keyboard before and after work, I can't help but notice it. No, it's not a place to touch, so it doesn't matter--although that dust will rise up... and think about it, I feel bad. However, there is no time to clean before work, and there is no energy after work.

　As a result, once or twice a year, I turned it over and brushed it off, but after a few weeks, the dust started to pile up again.

　While my PC at home continued to run at full speed due to telework, I wanted to take care of it more casually and effectively and use it comfortably, so I bought something called "Cleaning Slime" or "Cleaning Gel". He's there.

　If you stick a gel-like object on a product with a complicated shape that is difficult to clean and then peel it off, it will absorb fine dust and clean it.

　The air vents of the fan in my house have a fine mesh pattern, and it was difficult to clean even though it was often clogged with dust, but using this makes cleaning easy! her wife showed me. When I looked for it on Amazon, it was advertised as being useful for cleaning keyboards. I see, the keyboard was the main choice.

Similar products are sold under various product names, but from now on we will refer to them as "slime".
