Acetone free polish remover is weirdly greasy, I'm not sure I'd use it on/near any electronics. Personally, although I have acetone free polish remover I much prefer using an acetone based remover.

Rubbing alcohol otherwise known as isopropyl alcohol is handy to have in. It doesn't attack plastics like acetone does. I used to use it for cleaning cassette and video player heads many moons ago.

I wouldn't have let any solvent get under the keys - I used cotton buds for the whisky (precious stuff), and would ditto for any other test.
Some solvents - nail-varnish remover - I wouldn't have considered trying at all, unless as a last resort, and even then only following a test on the side of the laptop.
Anyhoo, isn't the interweb wonderful?! Now't bad ever happens on there.

Alcohol is often used for cleaning circuit boards after soldering. So usually safe.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Isopropanol removes permanent marker, I have it for cleaning all sorts but use permanent marker on freezer container lids & storage boxes and use it daily.
