Worked better than I was expecting. It got a ton of the stuck down hair that gets down between keys over time, as well as all the dirt that likes to collect on the sides of the keys. Before I had to clean them off one by one with a q-tip. It even got old dried soda out of another keyboard. It was unusually satisfying to see all the junk it got out.

Best used in combination with spray air though, it helps loosen everything up and gets the worst of it out if your keyboard is especially gross.

I bought this on a whim at a bricks and mortar vendor, and came to Amazon to buy more. It works better than expected. I just wanted something to remove the crud that builds up between computer keys. It did this effectively -- much better than canned air, which I'd been using previously. The nice surprise was that it also made the top of the keys look clean and new.

It's a floppy gel-solid, like the "slime" toy for kids. But the unusual consistency is what allows it to work between keyboard keys.

To get this to work properly, you really have to push it down on the keyboard, When you lift it back up, you should see a waffle pattern from the keyboard.

This was a pleasant surprise and worked well. I'm buying some for people at work (we all have filthy keyboards!) Recommended.

What you get in the pouch is this slab of fluorescent yellow gel/putty. It seems to have some kind of alcohol in it, but doesn't list that on the outside. You basically take the slab, lay it on the keys, and moosh it in. The mooshing seems to help it clean the key sides somewhat. Slowly peal it back, and it will have grabbed any loose and lightly adhered keyboard grunge. It seems to do a good job of cleaning the key tops and an OK job of the key sides. If you really push it in, it also grabs the stuff below if it's not too deep.

What it won't do. Remember when you ate Cheetos and typed your term paper/business report/extended coding session? You know that stuff that is on your key sides you have to scrape to get off? Won't touch that. Nor will it fix the sticky drink you spilled in.

Depending on your level of risk aversion, you can try the dishwasher trick (for separate keyboards only, not laptops). Just be sure to not use a caustic soap (look for something that says "Safe for silver") and dry completely.

I probably have something called "clean keyboard OCD." I always- at least try- to wash my hands (with soap) before I touch my computer keyboard, and I absolutely do not eat in front of it (and forbid anyone else to). I cannot stand the dirt and crumbs and fall into crevices and cracks on the keyboard. However, no matter how much I try to keep my keyboard clean, dust and some particles of dirt manage to squeeze their way in- which is why I bought this product.

The alcohol smell is bit strong (alcohol is listed as one of its ingredients), but there is also a hint of citrusy smell. You have to press the product down on your keyboard hard. Then you just lift the product up. There should be an outline of your keys (along with all the dirt and crumbs). It cleans your keyboard well. I have no complaints about that. It even leaves your keyboard keys feeling "cleaner"- no oil buildup from fingers, etc.

It advertises that it can clean your USB ports too. Actually, no, it doesn't. It cannot clean the dust in the ports.... I tried, and my USB ports are still dusty.

One con about this product: it leaves small strings of putty in tight places. For example, I tried cleaning the small cracks on my PC laptop track pad, and when I lifted the putty off, small strings of putty would be stuck and I would have to use a toothpick to get it out. This problem only occurs when I try to stick the product in small tight spaces and USB ports.

I ranked this product 3 stars because it does what it says it does, but to an extent. (I would give this product 3 and 1/2 stars if possible). I would buy this product again, but only because it is the only thing of its kind in the market.

Really not all that impressed. I used it exactly as directed and still had to clean between the keys on the keyboard with a Q-tip to remove dust that didn't stick to the product..in fact only very large bits of debris actually stuck to the product. I'm glad I only purchases the small size package as I won't likely be using it again.

It works well enough for your keyboards, and stuff like that. It stinks though. I wish it was unscented. I bought some for my brother in law, and he likes it. At least he said he did.

From using this stuff to clean my laptop keyboard I have to say that I wasn't overly impressed with it. For what I paid for it the performance wasn't so bad but it didn't clean much other than the loose particles from the upper surfaces of the keys. It was good for cleaning surface and a little bit of below level dust on my desktop keyboard (only cleaned %75-80 of the vertical surface of the keys). I can't speak to the disinfectant property of the stuff because I didn't examine it with a microscope, but they sure looked clean.

I only wish that it would do a better job at cleaning stuff other than loose particulate (think crumbs or dust) and also wish that it cleaned deeper. I did manage to clean it a little better by forcing more gel down into the crevaces, however, this caused some of the gel to get stuck below the key which was very hard to get out and ultimately wasn't worth the hassle. So, in the end I probably wouldn't go out of my way to purchase the product again but if you're in the market for an air duster in gel form that disinfects this might be for you.

This is a great product! It's simple to use and very effective! I have looked for something to clean my keyboard for awhile and I highly recommend this product!

I got the CyberClean for the express purpose of clean my car's dashboard. The product does what it says - it picks up dust and debris, gets into small crevices without coming apart or leaving behind any type of residue. I'm not sure what the consequence would be, but the instructions explicitly warn the user not to rub the product, but rather use a blotting motion, so be sure to heed that warning. The package that CyberClean is stored in has a small, see-through window on the back and a reference color just to the side of that. As the product becomes full of whatever dust and schmutz you're cleaning, it will darken. When it gets as dark or darker than the reference color printed on the package, time to throw it away. Seems like a decent feature, unless the product company is trying to create its own need. The consistency of the product reminds me of a kids toy back in the 1970s called Trash Can Slime, which for me, is nostalgic and cool in itself. It smells faintly similar to that old stuff as well, with a little citrus mixed in to make it totally pleasant and fresh. To clarify, the CyberClean is not nearly as runny as the old Slime toy, so there would be no fear of it oozing into your cars A/C vent. Be sure you keep the bag to seal the product, because it has an alcohol component which would quickly dry if left out of the bag.

i was a little skeptical about this product, but it actually works and says what it is suppose to do. i was surprised when i saw how wonderful of a job it did.
