Any tips on how to keep Mechanical Keyboard not gather dirt,dust?

[Vash Baldeus]

I have a Razer Blacwidow Stealth, don't judge me, in my country buying any other brand is about 100$ more than it should be even if I order from eBay/Amazon etc.

I have this keyboard since July-August more or less and well till about march it kept clean and didn't gather layers of dirt on it just occasional dust which I swiped with a cloth.

Recently the keyboard started to gather dirt in layers and well my OCD kicks in as I get annoyed having a dirty keyboard. My question what can I do to prevent the dirt build up? except keeping my hands clean which I already do.

Any tips are welcome, I clean it about once a week due to this but the dirt still persists..

I know some cheap people that put plastic wrap (like Saran wrap) over the top of their keybds. Its cheap and highly effective.

When not in use covering the keyboard is a very solid choice.
Do note, no matter what you do it will always be an issue. My deathstalker gets some gunk on the keys sometimes (the lesser used keys) and it used to bother me to no end. Eventually I got over it and clean it maybe once a month or two.

Me&Ed's Pizza does this. Some of the thicker wrap or plastic sheets held on by rubber bands.

cover the keyboard with a tray while not using it. this will help keep dust out of it.

wash your hands, do not eat at the keyboard and wipe/blow the keyboard out regularly

that is about all you can do without doing something like the above saran wrap or similar
