ZDNET's key takeaways I tested a 20-in-1 gadget cleaning tool, which is available from Amazon for $13. The kit is compact, the components are all quality items that can be reused many times, and the kit contains a variety of brushes and cleaners. A larger container for lens cleaning fluid would have been useful. $12.59 at Amazon I dare you to take a close look at your keyboard. If it's like mine or the systems I find myself pawing, then it's going to be dirt, hair, and crumb-filled apocalypse
