Wow! This is the first application that really works 100%! Very stable and easy to use, and it's UB, too! Well, the functionality is a bit limited, compared to Indesign e.g., but – considering the different scope – I can live with this. Finally I can place my coffee cup on my MacBook's keyboard without any concern. Thanks.

My only complaint: Where is the f. manual???!

I can't believe an app like this has taken this long to emerge! I have been wishing for this functionality for years.
Simple and well done.

Thanks!

I am glad this came along. Yes, I'm a neat freak, and no, I don't want to have to shut down my computer every time I need to wipe down keys. Another alternative, of course, would be to disconnect the USB, but all I have to do is employ a keyboard shortcut to power up the app [cmd-opt-ctrl-shft-k, using Keyboard Maestro], wipe down the keys, then cmd-q to resume my work. Many, many, many thanks.

However, I do advise that you wipe the modifier keys separately from the others. I just discovered on my new 17" MacBook Pro that cmd-F5 will engage VoiceOver ON/OFF while Keyboard Cleaner is active.
