    another day another issue. Today Windows thinks Ctrl is always held down when it isnt, a google indicates its a hardware issue due to a spillage.

    can the keyboard keys be removed and cleaned?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    It is possible to remove each key, but chances are the clips holding them will break, if you want to clean the keyboard, I'd recommend that you remove the whole thing.
