Is Isopropyl Alcohol Ok For Mechanical Keyboards

Based on IPA - Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) dissolves oils and effective for cleaning different types of optics

In the studio i always do have Isopropyl alcohol in hand to clean everything!. This Zeiss tiny packages are a must for location. Loving it so far.

The important thing about Kinetronics's cleaning solutions is that they contain isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) and alcohols have been used successfully for decades to clean various kinds of optics. Now the difference is that many manufacturers (Zeiss, for example) have started to use a different formulation based on butyldiglycol. I'm not particularly fond of that ingredient as I suspect it may leave a residue whereas both water (pure) and alcohol will evaporate without a trace regardless of how much you apply. So my advice is to look for alcohol-based cleaners. The problem is that you can't find what goes into most of those solutions, not even on their websites, until you receive it and read the label. Hope this helps someone.

All I was looking for was some 99% isopropyl alcohol and some pec pads and these are a perfect combination of those two things in a sealed, non-leaking packet. Perfect for chucking in the camera bag and the wipes are large enough to clean your camera body after cleaning a few smudges from your lens. I an imagine using these for a long time.

Excellent build quality and consistent across 3 of the same that I bought. There are too many choices of mechanical keyboards even if you narrow down to ones with Cherry Blue switches. So there are certainly others that will be equally good and consistent. So my review is not meant to be a comparison by any strech, but only what I see.

I've been wanting to move towards a mechanical keyboard feel. Glad that MX is offering an option now. So far, I've really enjoyed the typing experience, though it is taking some getting used to since I've been on scissor switches for quite a while. I don't love how they switched to a new dongle system with this one so I can't use the MX master 3 mouse with the same dongle anymore - I know they did that to force another upgrade. Other complaint is that their software seems to have regressed in the new mechanical keyboards. example - the calculator quick key still works but it doesn't bring it to the front anymore. Why would that be different from their previous keyboards? weird. Overall, I'm enjoying the keyboard, though.

This basic keyboard is well worth its price. I have other mechanical keyboards that I use, but I can't say those give as much value as this simple keyboard. 100% recommended.

Grabbed one of these for work with the blue switches and I can actually type faster on it than the keyboard that I use at home. I will only use full sized keyboards and they have to be mechanical and clicky for me so this hits the sweet spot. Much better than the dozens of other low priced mechanical keyboards I've owned and nearly as good as the custom GMMK that I use at home. Can't beat this for the price.

What can I say, it types, it functions as expected, it isn't too clicky like the mechanical keyboards these days. My girlfriend loves how simple and basic it is. It is just what she was looking for.

CM Quickfire Rapid is the ten keyless mechanical keyboard I could find that worked with Mac out of the box. All multimedia keys work with Mac. A lot of mechanical keyboards I researched had some sort of issue with Mac or required some software to be installed. The CM Quickfire rapid works right out of the box. The most you would have to do is update your modifier keys in OSX and switch your key caps for option/command. I own two of these keyboards now, one with blue and one with brown cherry mx keys. I used the blue version for over a year and wanted to get a quieter version for use at work. I tried adding o-rings to the blue keyboard and it greatly reduced the sound by preventing the keys from bottoming out. The main problem I had with this solution was that the click of the blue key switches is still very audible and the o-rings decreased the travel of the keys. Making it feel too short in my opinion. The brown key switch version is much quieter since there's no audible click. To prevent bottoming out, I removed the o-rings I put in the blue version and put them in the brown. Making the brown even quieter than it already was. Perfect for an office environment shared with other coworkers. The brown key switches are nice if you like the the blue keys, but need to do without the audible click. The brown keys have a noticeable bump when you press down on them. Cons: Lack of backlit keys. I don't have a need for the backlit keys, but would be a nice to have. All of the other ten keyless with backlit keys were about double the price of this one. No USB hub. While not needed, would be nice if it also had a USB hub like some of the other mechanical keyboards I researched.
