The keyboard design for most laptops is just hopeless. Under the keys are multiple ecosystems hosting bacteria that are rapidly evolving to eat your fingers.
Today morning I used a USB powered cleaner to clean the keyboard of my work laptop (I got the cleaner as a gift from the sibling after she saw the keyboard on a bright day). The cleaner worked much more efficiently than I imagined. I say this because as I muzzled in the cleaning airbrush under the keys, I saw what looked like dog hair in compromising positions hastily get out and run. Before you start imagining things, I want to declare that the laptop in question is a used laptop and I don't know the previous owner. Looking at all the hair I am beginning to think the previous owner was a highly evolved German Shepard with a wicked sense of humor or a Grizzly that was under a lot of stress.

"ecosystem" is right. I see this all the time in computer support. Why aren't laptops constructed with a keyboard like this one? It is a sealed piece of silicone rubber. It could snap out of a recessed spot in the laptop frame, and you could run it through the dishwasher if you wanted to.
Some people's offices I'd like to put a keyboard like that in, too. They use it as a never-cleaned, never-replaced placemat.
What usb cleaner did you use, that worked so well?
