Cleaning a Logitech Wireless Keyboard

I decided that since it was finals week, and I REALLY need to study, today would be the completely wrong time to clean my keyboard. Naturally this made it irresistable. This process was much more complicated than cleaning my Microsoft Keyboard.

Removing the first set of screws was a straight forward process. This enabled the removal of the top layer of the keyboard (remove the batteries first of course). The second set of screws attached the main assembly to the bottom casing, with these off the assembly came away.

I chose to size the photgraphs at 640x480 in order to clearly see the condition the keyboard was in. The silver media buttons and main assembly are attached to a circuit board by VERY thing plastic connectors. Another set of screws were removed to free the circuit board from the bottom housing. At this point the keys can be pried off.

I regret not taking pictures of the main assembly "sandwich", but another few screws had to be removed to extract the dirtiest part (the plate that the keys attach to). Here are a few of the dirtier parts.





The flash on the camera hides exactly how dirty it is. After a few trial and error shots, I found a way to take some non-flashed photos. These photos shot just how bad the keyboard has become in it's 3 year lifetime.





Because the keyboard is black, any non-black dust or dirt shows up exceptionally well.



Here is a picture of the various parts, before I was able to put it back together.



Fortunately, after putting everything back together, it all worked. Enjoy.
