I've been using my beautiful Apple Pro Keyboard for a number of years. The problem is that it contains a serious design flaw in that it is a total dirt trap, and the white color of the keyboard emphasises this. So how do I go about cleaning it? I've made a few feeble attempts, but never with a significant amount of success and frankly, it's starting to look like it may be a serious health hazard. Help me please!

Where is the dirt? Between the keys or on the keys?

Between - the worst places are the gaps on either side of the directional and F14-16 keys.

Well for the surface itself I found a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works wonders.

Turn it upside down and give it a good shake...

You'd be surprised of all the stuff that fell out ...
