Future Colin here - most of the boards that we did this test with died within a year. They **did** work for a time, but most had a key or two stop responding properly after ~9-12 months of daily use. So, take this video with an enormous grain of salt, and instead consider getting a mesh bag for keycaps + removing your plastics to wash your keeb without putting the printed circuit board in the dishwasher! -CW

In my experience, taking the key caps off, brushing the board with a dry toothbrush while letting the key caps soak in soapy water, then tooth brush the caps one by one as the rest soak was a good way to keep things relatively dry, so you don't have to wait a week for it to dry, at best I waited an hour, got very good clean results after 6 years of use.

You should keep in mind that unless you're filtering your dishwasher's water, the amount of minerals dissolved in your water could vary widely depending on your area's water source, and this might lead to some serious issues for some people if you're simply letting this water dry on the keyboard.

August 24,2021 - With a follow up. After getting Root Beer in my K95RGB keyboard, and the L key doing the sticky constant press, I removed the key caps. Then I disassembled the board to get it down to minimal and remove as many water traps as possible. I ran the main board with the mechanical switches and the bottom plate through the dishwasher. Added a little soap (less than a tablespoon) to the first wash. Then let the second wash and rinse both do water. It went through the plate warmer dry cycle as well. The parts came out with water all over them. Shook the excess water off of the bottom plate and dried it with a towel. The top plate with the mechanical switches and main board were loaded as well. I shook out as much as would come out, THEN I took my wet/dry shop vac and ran it over each of the mechanical switches. It was amazing how much water was trapped inside of each switch. I used the small angled tip and went along and pressed the button for each switch down as the vacuum would then suck all the water from inside and around each switch up and out. By removing the water this way it also removes anything in the water that would be left once the water dries out. The interesting thing is you can see the water coming out of each switch as the vacuum sucks it out. It will also let it dry faster with less possibility of corrosion when less to no water is left inside. When I reassemble the board and test it I will edit this post. At this time I can say that the mechanical switches look much better and seem to work better. Will still have to test them. If any of the switches has gone bad, I have the skills and experience (20 years working in electronics designing and building prototype boards) to replace the switches, IF I CAN GET REPLACEMENTS. More probably this coming weekend. August 25, 2021 THE FOLLOWUP! I am typing this on my CLEANED K95 RGB keyboard. All the keys work. All the lighting works. All the switches work. Using a shop vac to remove the majority of the water from the mechanical switches was an excellent idea and worked quite well. There were a handful of buttons required several presses to get them to start working. Once they started to work there was never any more trouble. In addition the drying time was only 3 days. CONCLUSIONS If you have and intend to use a shop vac to remove the water, AND disassemble the keyboard to the extent you can, AND remove the keycaps, It could help to use a SMALL amount of soap only in the beginning wash. The shop vac will remove the excess water before it dries and leaves any soap deposits. This is important especially in the mechanical switches. If you use any soap only use a teaspoon or 2 at most. As to the keyboard, it seems like the key action is a little better. The keyboard is about 4 years old and seems to work like new again. So nice to have a keyboard that isn't all covered with dust, debris, and gunk.

Yeah, i mean if you dry it fast, should be fine but if in the long run and if you do this frequently my guess is you could find some issues because of corrosion.

​@@demonslayer312 This looks like home science, but it's not junk. Let me counteract your post. 1) They weren't able to clean it properly: That's not the fault of their bad science, that was intentional. They tested with a control (Golden Standard), replicated messes under controlled variables and even removed the keys to see if it cleaned better. They then found it came out cleaner if you removed the keycaps. It was something learned. 2) Dangerous: This is not dangerous if done properly. Just like hydrochloric acid or stomach acid isn't dangerous unless used improperly. If you're implying about the dangers of the keyboard short circuiting, then this was addressed as well. This is why they didn't use soap because it may leave residue that may cause it to short. They also only used low heat water to prevent lasting damage and even played it safe drying it for A WEEK. 2a) Phones in toilet: This is "dangerous" only in the regards that there's a live battery in a phone running at that time, giving it power and thus the ability to short out at the *MOMENT* you drop it in water. The keyboards were not already linked to power when running under water so it's not going to have this issue. 3) Takes longer: Obviously it takes longer, but you have an extremely clean keyboard. There's proof shown via lab testing where each keyboard (save one) had came out clean enough you can literally eat off of it safely. I'll reference back to what you said. "The tester was not able to get all the doo-doo off all the keyboards" If they did a hand clean, it would take EVEN LONGER. Remember at 7:34 when Linus said he was going to record another video and Colin says he has to keep manually cleaning it, which was a job unto itself. Also at 4:26 where Linus says it's a "painstaking" task. 4) Repair tech, buy a new board: That would cost you way more money to have a tech. If you have a higher end keyboard, that ALSO is likely to cost more money. Why do either when you can spend like 5 minutes taking off the keys, doing a quick wipe off of the board, and throw it all in the dishwasher? It saves time AND money, plus the wait time for it to dry matches shipping or a return time from a tech more or less. 5) Funny how? I mean, funny like I'm a clown: He is very silly in things he does for entertainment, like a clown yes, however he does it in a way that keeps the audience's attention while still giving information. He's the "fun" teacher of the school where instead of just droning on the information, he does add humor and fun to lighten the atmosphere and educate at the same time. It adds to the retention value and because he sometimes does things so zany, people are interested in how it ends up. Throwing a keyboard in a _DISHWASHER_? He's a madman! That's his shtick.

@karanoelle4819

@@demonslayer312 Did we watch the same video? When I watched it, I was pretty sure they said (and showed) while leaving the keycaps on won't clean it entirely and will have crap leftover in it. However, when they took it apart it came out clean. Every nook and corner of the board was washed. The keycaps themselves are a different story, but that's more likely because they grouped 3-4 keyboards worth of caps in the mesh bag. Having it in that bag doesn't leave much room for water to hit every surface. Besides, cleaning the caps under a sink or in your example, the toilet, would wash the rest of it off anyway. Don't forget that the dishwasher SANITIZED it as well. Also keep in mind that they used keyboards that are so full of nasty shit. Cheetos, Doritos, a bunch of crumbs from who knows what. If your keyboard is in this condition, bacteria is very much guaranteed. Washing it off with a hose won't sanitize it. I mention this because if you're eating at (or literally over) your keyboard, you must also be using it, therefore transferring bacteria growing from it to your mouth. But sure, feel free to toss it in the toilet and save some money. I'm sure that it'll completely clean it off. Again, as I've said before, this isn't them saying this is the practical way to clean a keyboard. They're showing that you CAN. Also do remember that Linus did say that the dishwasher might leave residue. Regardless of all this, if your keyboard gets to this level and you're legitimately trying to argue if cleaning it in the dishwasher is a good idea or not, then maybe cleaning the keyboard isn't the concern here. Now, addressing the water being used, that all varies based on where you live. I have also referenced this before as well, and that yes, your water may leave stuff behind. The residue doesn't come from the dishwasher, but your local tap water supply. That's what causes leftover residue. Either that or your pipes have stuff in them because they're old and/or broken and letting in minerals from the ground.

(B) it gets COMPLETELY dry, meaning you watch carefully for any pockets or areas that could trap water and be sure they have time to dry out, and (C) you take into account any part where there is, say lubricant for moving parts or thermal compound for heat transfers and properly reapply those. FYI Roman did mainboards as a way to remove vaseline, which is used to coat boards to protect them from condensation during extreme OC (liquid nitrogen cooling).

I wouldn't do it with a modern keyboard, but I did it with one in the 80s and it worked wonderfully.

One thing to consider is metal oxidation is greatly accelerated in the presence of hot water vapour. So I expect that doing this regularly, especially on mechanical keyboards, will lead to issues due to rust.
