What is the best way to clean a keyboard without taking the keys off?
Get a can of compressed air and blow it through a straw which attaches to the nozzle. If you tilt the keyboard around then you can blow out all the dirt. Obviously you can just wipe the top of the keys with a cloth.

How did 'they' decide on the order of letters on a keyboard?
There were extensive ergonomic studies done back in the early days of typewriters. The idea was to balance out the keyboard so that your right and left hands get about the same amount of work and your stronger fingers are used more than your weaker ones

How to know if an keyboard/input related app is safe to use
You can not . A keyboard, by nature, is required to know everything you type, including your account credentials. Your best bet is to select keyboard coming from top developers.My favorite? Multiling Keyboard, supports multiple languages (including Vietnamese), highly customizable, the only keyboard I know of that does not require Internet permission (so the keyboard can not send what you are typing on the fly). Some other popular keyboard that support Vietnamese includes Swiftkey (free), Swype (paid).As for Vietnamese products, Laban is fine (comes from Vinagame I think), Gotiengviet also was used by hundreds of thousands users without any incident

One of the keys on my keyboard got pulled and raised a little,Help please?
We have tried gluing keys back without much success but no glue seems to handle repetitive pounding over time. Replacing your Notebook PC keyboard if the one key distracts/disturbs you enough should not be that difficult and I have done a total of 3 on Dell Notebook PCs. First you buy your manufacturer's specific genuine keyboard, price varies but should be in $15 to $30 range with S&H. For Dell their Technical Support website is GREAT and actually has the Service Manuals available on-line with step by step instructions and blow up schematics. Basically one gently sticks a flat head screwdriver (padded to prevent scratches) in the side of the silver piece that runs along the top of the keyboard and gently prys it off. This exposes 2 screws holding down the keyboard and the most difficult part is separating the ribbon cable. Then one installs in reverse connecting the ribbon cable, etc, Hope the Above Info Helps.

How do I save my keyboard songs on the computer?
When you tell what kind of keyboard (brand and type) you have, maybe someone can help you. Having an USB cable does not mean a thing; the keyboard must be connected to you PC or maybe an amplifier

Delete/backspace keys not working on Microsoft Sculpt keyboard
I started having this issue after 1 week. I tried installing drivers or re-connecting it, did not help. Then I tried connecting the keyboard to my laptop (also mac) and the backspace worked there, then connected back to my Mac and it works again. Seems like some internal state could be reset by connecting to another device.

Have to slam down on certain keys on my keyboard for them to work?
Had that problem also, sounds like your keyboard on your laptop is getting worn out, try cleaning it with compressed air. Here is a question for you though if that doesnt help, what have you spilled on it? if there is soda or juice that have dripped onto your keyboard? If you say yes, you can easily take the keyboard off, I have a dell also, mine I have a little notch below the screen and top of the keyboard, take a screw driver and it will pop off really easy then there are 2 screws and a ribbon cable that you disconnect by sliding the cream colored tab. Take out your keyboard and rinse it off for a little while with warm water. let dry upside down over night making sure all the water is out of it by shacking it. then put it all back together. Really easy to do and wo not hurt your computer so long as you dont get the water inside. I did that to mine and now it feels like the day I bought it. But you may need a new keyboard, you can get one cheap off ebay usually. Just dont worry about water on your keyboard they are run through water at the factory when there made.
