Vacuum the Dust
The best decision I made for my tinkering life is a small vacuum/blower. Its relative size is perfect for vacuuming the little stuff. It’s also more economical than buying individual cans of compressed air, though you should avoid those anyway, as they can cause condensation and blow dust into the crevices of the keyboard.
I have this Brigii mini vacuum from Amazon, which I bought based on user reviews. It’s loud, but it comes with attachments and charges via microUSB. I used to use a Dyson V7 Trigger vacuum to clean my keyboard. But one time, I sucked up a keycap into a dustbin with dead insect bodies. It’s best to have separate tools for your hobbies.
Use the vacuum to remove dust from the exterior of the keyboard. If your vacuum has a nozzle with a brush attachment, that works the best. Gently press and guide the nozzle around the edges where debris usually settles in.
