Clean Your Keycaps
Whether you’ve laid your keycaps aside or dropped them into a bowl, you’ll have to decide how you want to clean them. If they’re shiny from constant use, it may be because the paint has withered away. But if they seem more textured than expected, then they’re probably covered in finger grease and everything else.
I surface clean my keycaps from time to time with a tiny bit of soap and water in a dish and a pointy Q-tip, the kind you buy from the makeup aisle for precise application. Then, I wipe it off with a microfiber cloth. A little isopropyl alcohol could also work. For more challenging jobs, an unused toothbrush is also handy at scrubbing away grime.
