    I need to remove the left control and shift keys to clean out the base board, but I can't figure out how to get the keys off, lol.

    Anyone able to help? :D

    The keys just pop-off. You can use a credit card and pry it up. Of course at your own risk ;)

    yeah, just pop them off. maybe not pull it straight up until it pops, but get it as high as it'll easily go, and then try to get one corner to pop at a time. it might be one side at a time, depending on how its connected, but don't just pull it straight up to get it off
