This thing is so grungy it's gonna have to be swabbed in a biohazard
isolation tent. Canned air won't loosen the many particles of cookies,
cakes, pies, crackers, etc., that have found their way into all the
nooks and crannies. I've tried it.

What I've done with older keyboards is to use "canned air," (which
actually is a compressed inert gas), by just blowing the snot out of
'em. Some of that gas does liquify in that process but since it's
inert no harm comes out of it and the job gets done.
Regarding the more modern aluminum keyboards, the same applies
except that the "cleaning" as you described is limited as is
accumulated dust/debris within. I think that once something goes
wrong with these units, there is little in the way of options for
recovery remedies....

It’s impossible to take those apart without melting keys or
distorting the aluminum. I know, I’ve tried and failed. More than
once.
