i just use rubbing alcohol. not sure if the printing will eventually wear off from that, but seems ok so far!

the printing will wear off eventually. I tried windex before for a while, but I noticed that after using your keyboard after a thorough cleaning, your fingers get sticky (NPI, loool yuck yuck). The best formula that I found is a little dish soap and water loaded up on a clean paper towel, or thin rag so you can get into all the corners. And not a sopping wet towel or rag obviously. Also Q-tips work wonders. And beer will definitly make your keyboard stop working...THAT I know first hand.

best not to use windex or alcohol. as said previously, warm soapy water is best. this is mild enough not to worry about wear.
i have to say thou... white keyboard is just disgusting. i try not to look at mine. its so gross how dirt will get stuck under the clear part.

Surely there's an inexpensive, 6th-gen, branded Apple cleaner like iMuck that'll work with iCloth to bring back that lustre that so impresses your friends.
Or perhaps you could just use a little bit of common sense and fucking wipe it with a damp cloth.

I ordered a black dell, just like the one I have at work. The keys work just the way I like it (the apple kb is a tad stiff) and it matches my black dell monitor, black logitech mouse and last but not least my black mac

I use q-tips and a special kind of alcohol that's also used for cleaning circuit boards, it's really cheap. I forgot the name 'cause I threw away my bottle a few days ago. I will post it as soon as I get the find out.
