How to Maintain a Keyboard for Increasing Its Longevity?

Prevention is often the best cure, and the same holds true for your Fujitsu keyboard’s longevity. Here are some simple tips to keep it in tip-top shape

• Clean the keyboard more frequently. Membrane keyboards are more prone to dust and dirt buildup than mechanical keyboards, so it’s important to clean them more often. Aim to clean your membrane keyboard at least twice a week.
• Use a damp cloth when cleaning. A damp cloth will help to remove more dirt and debris than a dry cloth. Be careful not to get any liquid into the keyboard itself.
• Pay attention to the spacebar and other large keys. These keys are more likely to collect dust and debris, so be sure to clean them thoroughly.
• If you notice any keys sticking or feeling sluggish, you can try cleaning them with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Be careful not to get any alcohol on the circuit board underneath the keys.
• Avoid bending or wrapping the wire tightly. If you need to tie the wire, use a soft tie or cable wrap instead of zip ties.
