You can but it's not easy and you might snap the plastic holders that hold the key in place.
I occasionally turn my keyboard upside down and give it a tap, it gets loads of dust etc out.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old style MoneySaving boards.

You can buy sets of keys, but it's not wrth bothering if you can put up with it. Just wait till that one dies a natural death.
I got mine from Asda - Smartprice - I think it was £4.88 or something. Took a bit of getting used to as the keys are quite deep, but it does the job.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old style MoneySaving boards.

Keyboards with the exception of the high end gaming units (like my G15) are sooo cheap there's no excuse to not replace it.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

I take mine outside and give it a quick air-clean (got a compressor
I read about someone who showers with his to clean it..then leaves it in the airing cupboard for a week to dry out...Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant.0 -
Lots of the keys on my keyboard are not typing unless I hit them really firmly... I must say the keyboard (Logitech wireless) is about 8 years old so has done well. I think I need to replace it but have no idea what to look for in a keyboard (other than standard keys obviously). Would be grateful for any advice.
