    There's nothing unique about cleaning technique for an Alienware keyboard. Just use a soft microfiber cloth as you would on any delicate surface that you don't want scuffed up. It can be moistened slightly if necessary, or you can use disposable computer wipes, eyeglass wipes, etc. if you need to remove any excess oils or stubborn residues.

    There are also those little USB-powered vacuum cleaners for dealing with the dust stuck inside, if you're not comfortable with, well, a full-sized vacuum.

    hah, what will they think of next...

    and this...
    100%. i use microfiber towelettes for anything and everything that's scratchable (cellphone, electronics, (sun)glasses, etc.). your local target/walmart or pharmacy should have a box of them for cheap found in the glasses/eye care section.
