How do I get Pringles crumbs out from between the keys on my keyboard...?
I tried blowing them out and it seemed like too much hard work so I gave up, figuring it'd sort itself out in the end.
But it didn't.

turn the keyboard upside down an beat the "chit" out of it
all the crap will fall on your desk, failing that.. unscrew it and do it bit by bit.. i choose bashing.. it is more fun and less hassle |

You can pop out all the keyboard keys and clean them. Just remember where they go. |

Depending on the age, I would probably just spend the 10,000 Won and replace it. |

This depends on whether it's a notebook or a desktop keyboard. Yeah, if it's a desktop, just get a new keyboard! |

Buy a can of compressed air and blow it out. (This is a good suggestion for you notebook users.) |

Get hold of one of those rather useful plastic keyboard overlays... and hey presto, no more Pringles crumbs in the keyboard.
It also helps avoid the ssssssssssssssssssssssticky keys that may result from spending too much time visiting certain websites  |

Hey you know what....?
I just discovered a vacuum cleaner in one of my cupboards.
I really should check what else is lurking around in this place.
Needless to say Pringle problem is solved.
At least when I can be bothered doing it, anyhow.
