How to clean sticky keyboard keys! 

Once in a decade or so, a video like this is made to renew my faith in the Internet. Being a maladroit tapir, I've been struggling with a certain key on my Asus for weeks (information withheld to safeguard their personality rights) - all I can say is that I'm really happy to have fixed it while following the steps in your video. Now the key works flawlessly, and I use it as often as I can. Thanccck youc vercy mucccccccccCCcch!

Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. I struggled for ages with these miniscule pieces and thought I'd have to buy a separate keyboard as even coloured 'Tak ' wouldn't work! After watching and' juggling' a bit the key went back in with a 'snap' as you advised. Brilliant! I've even shared it with our local Tech expert for which she too is grateful.

I spilled a whole bunch of fireball on my laptop because I was drunk thanks this helped a bunch

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Went to a place where they wanted to replace the bottom part of the laptop for $175. I was able to follow your video and managed to clean all the cold coffee I had spilled. (Not much but enough to be sticky) best video EVER!

Your quick tutorial was very helpful! I found a staple under the keys that were sticking. The staple was removed and the keyboard is like new again.

Very helpful, thank you! Spilled honey all over my keyboard it was awful. 😬

Thank you for helping the community out with this video.

OMG thanks a lot this really helps as a roblox youtuber and struggling with some sticky key's So thanks A LOT

thank god this video exists. any moron can pop a laptop key off, putting it back together is where the skill comes into play. I had one big key that broke one of its springs, but it still functions. those little plastic scissor springs are *delicate,* this cannot be overstated

Thanks for sharing your experience, nicely presented...no loquacity and to the point.

Bruh I broke my keyboard by pulling them out. Maybe this works for some people's laptops but some laptop's keyboards are just not designed for being pulled up to clean

concise awesome video. loud and clear. SUBSCRIBED

I spilled tea with honey in it onto my HP Spectre the other day... 😭 Most of the keys are working but some display double when you press them and othera take ages to come back up such as the space bar. I'm so scared of taking anything out as I worry I might break them. But you make it look easy so I'll give it a try.

Thank you for sharing the knowledge 😊

does this work on the newer macbook keys as well?? The right side of my shift, command, option and the left arrow are sticky from a spill

My keys are ok but my keypad is sticking a lot. Would I be able to repair that myself as well and if so how?

Ill never drink a root beer again... thanks for the video!

Let me just say, the thumbnail of the video is Bang on. 100/10,

thanks this helped me soo mutch my mom didn't know that my keyboard was like this and now she never can know

Just got a brand new laptop was doing school work on it and wouldn’t you have one single drop of soda squirted directly into the shift key. I was so upset that it became sticky and wasn’t working correctly. Just popped off a couple keys cleaned all under them and bam works like new once again. I can breath easy now

Saved my computer, thank you!

just tried this and I'm trying this comment to see how well it worked

Spilt beer on mine, didn't think beer could be so sticky

thank you boss, been driving me crazy for weeks

The little scissor mechanism suddenly doesn't want to fit back in with those little pins. How can I fix this?

I tried doing the key part to put it back in since it fell off with the 2 clips, but I cannot stick the clips together for some odd reason, I tried everyway to put it on but it just falls apart, if anyone knows what this problem is, please tell me.

so i just removed my spacebar but its totally different than what you have😅 help

does it work the same with the smaller up and down keys?

can i clean the keys with isopropylic alcohol?

I'm currently using my dad's PC he dropped soda and now the keys are sticky I was going to help him with doing this but is there a way to clean the keys without popping the second lil peace out? I'm kinda worried to break them considering how small.

my back space button was sticky after i spelled sweet tea on it. and now it works fine after brushing it with a teethbrush

I tried cleaning my keyboard with a like lemon wipe thing cuz my keys felt greasy to the touch, and ever since i did that my keys have been sticky and im pissed, as this was a 300 dollar keyboard. This helped me tho, thanks so much!

Thankyou so much!! I needed this so badly!

can i do this with a space bar?

Would this work for keys that don't work?

Hi UK 🇬🇧 HERE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I thought I was lumbered with doggy keyboard for life! 😅

My keys were badly stuck. To avoid beaking, I lifted them just enough to get a q tip with 90% isopropyl underneath & loosened them up. No breaks.

i have hp 245- how remove left key of touchpad ?

thx this was very helpful

Thanks. I spilled some Martini with orange juice. It is clear about cleaning the keys. How to clean under the touchpad? Does it work the same way?

Am scared am bonna broke the space bar. Am a kid is there a way to fix it without taking it out?

For some reason my D key in my laptop was a mushy, it annoyed me and i said "ill choke you damn key" i pressed it hard and long, and it was fixed, it somehow was fixed

My computer is a little different they have theses like tiny sticks on the end of them and i cant figure out to put it back on

I am going to do a deep cleaning like this. But I suspect that my current issue is in the electrical contacts themselves, due to the mechanisms look to work properly but I need to press really hard some of the keys. Any suggestion for the electrical contact below the rubber piece?

Mine gets stuck and its new. These low profile keys are prone to that.

can you clean like the little arrow keys? or does it have the medal bars?

Spilt a bit of Dr Pepper on my laptop yesterday I’m hoping this helps 😂

thanks broo love your your trick🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

my trackpad stopped clicking after I spilled tea on it

thanksalotyoujustcompletlybrokemyspacebar.

i lost a piece cuz it flew...

followed this tutorial and broke my enter key, thanks

thanks, I spelled a LOT of a suger drink on my fathers laptop and now I am forced to clean them all.

Thank you! Super helpful

Thanks. Now I just gotta figure out what to do about my TouchPad because somehow...

How long do you leave them in the soapy water

TYSM I NEEDED HELP

I broke one key and placed others successfuly and didn't took some keys . Now will go to a pc repair shop to clean remaining

What to do if have no alcohol wipes?

Would this work on an Acer Nitro 5?

just make sure that you don't put the tiny pieces in the wrong configuration ! ! ! ! , i leaned the hard way

wacthing this on my laptop while fixing it

my keyboard is so sticky but im afraid to do this bc it might break

If you a own a Zephyrus Rog G15 15 Inch donʻt do this. The Zephyrus Rog G15 15 Inch keyboard buttons are more complex and are really tough to put back together. Edit: The keyboard buttons for the Zephyrus Rog G15 15 Inch is also easliy breakable. I found out the hard way...

Thanks.... I tried this and now I can't put the keys back in 😭😭

I don’t wanna take off the keys

will need to try this on my Samsung Chromebook. It's got a sticky 'S' Key. 😞

Thanks.

Just saved me from spending $100 on a new keyboard

luckily i spilled only a little only on my right side so only my arrows, backspace, enter, shift, pgup, pgdn, and fn are sticking not too bad but enough to annoy me lol

Won't the keys break if I pull them? I'm scared that I will just break them off (the only sticky key is space bar)

😭😭😭 If i knew it was this easy😊

THANK YOU SO MUCH I NEED THIS HELP

the key doesnt go back in

Splendid, thanks. That didn't hurt too much (pgdn) Better than some of the frankly - `Hare Brained` solutions elsewhere on YT.
