Will an air gun work? (You can get them in cans at CompUSA, etc.)
It may be easier (for you and your equipment) to just blow out the crumbs, etc.

There are quite a few posts on this in the boards, on the most resent one gzl posted links to all of the old links. alot of really good suggestions in there up to and including the famous 'throw it in the dishwasher' method (supposedly it works, have a backup on standby  ) Go look em up (i can't right now, busy counting down to 5 o clock)

I've used a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment. It works pretty well since the brushes really get in between the keys and suck all the junk away.

How to clean a pro keyboard:
1. pull off Caps lock and NUMPAD6 keys on keyboard. Grab an allen wrench (not sure which size), and unscrew those two bolts.
2. Flip over keyboard, remove two phillips screws under usb port areas (they're easy to find
3. rip off that label on the back of the keyboard, remove the screws from under it.
4. carefully pry open keyboard, being careful not to loose the little things that hold that bottom support, and the plastic film.
5. once top off, remove two screws (at top) where the cale is, this will remove the cable holder.. you may now pull out the naked keyboard.
Clean up, reassemble.
