Over time, you can see how the keys begin to be coated with the oil from your fingers and you can especially see it on the spacebar, where one spot of the spacebar is shiny from the oil from your fingers and the rest is just, normal.

Despite the obvious, how should I take into consideration to cleaning the oil off the keys? Is there anything special I should be using and is there a different cleaning method towards keys on my laptop or keys on the desktop's keyboard?

Two tutorials (one easy clean, one "thorough" clean) on how to clean your keyboard, with pictures.

click.

At the very least, you're going to need Q tips, lint free cloth, cleaning fluid (preferably something with alcohol in it), a can of compressed air (or a vaccum cleaner).

yea i have that problem too and rubbing alcohol solves it. even on the mouse it looks like your fingers burned off a layer of paint. thats just oils so take a qtip and rubb it really hard and it should come off.

i even do it to my ds.
