MAC Keyboard Cleaning Experiment

A couple of weeks ago back your friendly neighborhood IT Department posted a couple of solutions on how to clean your MAC keyboard if it gets dirty and unresponsive. In the post it indicated that the IT department has not tried solution number 2. Your friendly neighborhood IT Department now has tired solution number 2 of those techniques. Here is the rundown of the results from that experiment:
1. Results

• a. Plugged keyboard directly into the MAC tower
• b. Some keys on the keyboard worked like the volume buttons, the eject button, and several others
• c. When the keyboard was plugged in the icons on the desktop kept getting highlighted
• d. None of the desktop icons would open up with the keyboard plugged in

2. Conclusions from IT Department

• a. Solution number 2 for cleaning out the MAC keyboard does get your keyboard clean however your MAC keyboard may or may not work depending on what type of keyboard you have
• b. Parts of the keyboard worked and parts of the keyboard didn't work
• c. Results of your MAC keyboard test will vary
