The Reset Kit — 7-in-1 Keyboard & Electronics Cleaner

Everyone knows their keyboard is disgusting. Almost nobody cleans it — and it isn't laziness. It's that you don't own the right shapes.

A paper towel can't get between the keys. A cotton bud is too soft to move anything. Compressed air just relocates the problem to somewhere else in the room. So the crumbs stay, and you stop noticing them, and then one day you look at your laptop in daylight.

This is a small box of the correct shapes. The whole job takes about four minutes.

One $16.99 · Two $28.98 · Three $39.99

The discount comes off automatically at checkout. There's no code to type and nothing to sign up for.

The second kit is for wherever the first one isn't — a bag, a second desk, the machine at the office. A cleaning kit that lives in another room does not get used, which is the entire reason most people's keyboards are the way they are.

What's in it

• Retractable keyboard brush — high-density bristles that pull debris out of the gaps instead of pushing it further in.
• Keycap puller — lifts keys without bending the switch. It's the only way to clean what is actually under them, and it's the part most kits leave out.
• Double-head cleaning pen — a silicone nib for stuck-on residue in crevices, and a fine-bristle brush for speaker mesh and charging ports, where you don't want anything stiff.
• Flocked sponge head — for the inside of an AirPods case, which genuinely nothing else fits.
• Refillable spray bottle — for screens.
• Microfiber cloth — screens and trackpads.
• Plush cloth — glasses and camera lenses.

Packed, it's roughly the size of a phone. That matters more than it sounds like it does: a cleaning kit that lives in a drawer in another room does not get used.

What we're not going to tell you

Kits like this usually get sold on how many bacteria live on a keyboard. It's a real number and it's a cheap way to sell a brush, so we'll skip it.

What this actually does is get crumbs, dust and skin out from under your keys, and fingerprints off your screen. That's the whole product. It's enough.

It also won't fix a spill. Nothing in a box will. If you've poured something into a keyboard, unplug it and take it to someone.

One thing worth knowing about screen spray

Spray the cloth, never the screen. Liquid sprayed directly runs down into the bezel, and that is how screens die. True of every screen cleaner sold, not just this one.
