This article is going to cover everything you could need to know about drying your keyboard. Why you need to dry it, how you should dry it, what happens if you fail to dry it properly, and most importantly how to dry the various liquids that inevitably end up in the cracks and crevices of your keyboard.



If you spill coffee, water, beer, or any other liquid on your keyboard and need to dry it, the first thing you should do is get it unplugged.
