MCHOSE GX87 Mechanical Keyboard: The Ultimate Cleaning Guide

Maintaining your MCHOSE GX87 Mechanical Keyboard in pristine condition not only extends its lifespan but ensures you always have the best typing or gaming experience. Follow this step-by-step guide to clean both your keyboard and keycaps effectively and safely.

What You'll Need:

• Cleaning brush and compressed air
• Keycap puller (essential for easy removal)
• Large bowl with warm water and mild detergent
• Paper towels or cotton swabs
• 530 cleaning agent (safer and more reliable, available on Aliexpress)
• Hair dryer (optional, speeds up the drying process)

Step 1: Remove the Keycaps

Use the MCHOSE keycap puller to remove each keycap from the keyboard gently. Press the puller down firmly onto the keycap until it catches, then pull directly upwards. To aid in reassembly, take a quick photo of your keyboard layout before removing the keycaps.

Step 2: Soak the Keycaps

Fill a large bowl with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Place the removed keycaps into the solution to soak. Stir them around lightly and let them sit while you clean the keyboard itself.

Step 3: Clear Away Loose Debris

Use a cleaning brush and compressed air to remove any dust and debris from the keyboard’s surface and in between the switches. This helps get rid of food crumbs, hair, and other particles. A keyboard-specific cleaning brush is recommended, but a clean, soft-bristled brush can work as well.

Step 4: Wipe Away Stubborn Residue

Apply a small amount of the 530 cleaning agent onto a paper towel or cotton swab. This cleaning agent is safer and more reliable for use on electronics and plastics, and it’s conveniently available on Aliexpress. Use this to carefully wipe away any stubborn stains or sticky residues from the keyboard. If your keyboard has hot-swappable switches, removing them can give you better access for cleaning.

Step 5: Rinse and Dry the Keycaps

After soaking, remove the keycaps from the water and inspect them. If any grime remains, gently scrub it off with a paper towel. Optionally, use a hair dryer set to a low heat setting to speed up the drying process. Ensure the keycaps are completely dry before reassembly.

Step 6: Reassemble Your Keyboard

Once everything is dry, carefully reassemble the MCHOSE GX87 keyboard by placing each keycap back in its correct position. Use the photo you took earlier as a reference to ensure everything is where it should be.

The MCHOSE GX87 stands out with its easy-to-remove top cover and hot-swappable structure, making maintenance a breeze. This design allows you to clean every nook and cranny of your keyboard with ease, ensuring thorough maintenance and extending the lifespan of your device.
