My keyboard desperately needs cleaned.
Not only is there loads of dust between each key, but the more commonly used keys (eg, return, spacebar etc) are sort of stained and so forth, due to frequent use. You know what I mean.
Concerning the dust, I know, I know, I should've used a cover thing.
I used to, but it became tedious having to put it on, off, on, off, and so on.
Anyway, to the point.
Any tips on cleaning it? What are good ways of getting inbetween the keys? And how can I get the stained dirt like stuff of some of the keys?

Only if it is a 'clickie' one.
This 'Computer Hoover' has many cleaning 'add-ons' with it. My laptop keyboard used to play up, but when i bought this hoover off ebay it seemed to fix it.

Its exactly the same as an ordinary pen, but you can keep it beside your computer so that you always have a pen on hand. A snip at £2.

Get a screwdriver and dive in like a man. They just pop off.

At all costs no!

Where can I get some compressed air?
And is there a specific way of taking the keys off? Or do I just wedge something between them and yoink?
Heh.
Actually, would I unscrew it and take it apart?

I bought a 'Computer Hoover' off eBay for 7 quid, works a treat.

The can is decompressing. In the same way as compressing things makes them hot, decompressing things makes them cold. This is how fridges work.

I bought a new can of compressed air recently, this one seems to be different from my first though; while spraying this one has a slight smell to it, despite saying it's used for computer and electronic components - but my previous one was odourless. There's butane in this one.

Get some compressed air, it gets all the crap out behind the keys as well.
Giving the keys a bit of a scrub with a nailbrush should do the trick, you could use soapy water if you took the keys off.
