It would be nice if there was a button or some app that could temporarily disable the keyboard, so it could be cleaned without accidentally changing settings for a running app, writing your boss you are not coming to work on Monday, firing few nukes, or wiping your whole system.

    I just unplug it for a few minutes or lock my system

    I have the keyboard plugged into a monitor and accessing the USB hub is seriously complicated, so that's not really an option for me.

    But I could try locking the system. I just hope I won't lock myself out for few hours, because I have pressed Enter multiple times while cleaning it.

    Create a new local user w/o permissions and switch to that login before cleaning it. That way you only lock a fake user lol.

    Guessing unplugging from the monitor is difficult as well?
