We're all trapped in a prison of our own filth, which is why I'm eyeing this little arsenal of an electronics cleaning kit that's on sale for less than $12

VICHYIE Keyboard Cleaning Kit | 20+ cleaning tools | Monolithic exterior | $14.89 $11.91 at Amazon (save $3)
My office keyboard is disgusting. Well, actually it's beautiful, in its own black and lime green way, but I eat at my desk and so there are crumbs dug right in there I'm just not able to get out without removing every cap. This multi-piece cleaning kit will see you right, with tools to get right into the depths of your keyboard and shift that grime. But it's not just for PC gubbins, as it's got tools for cleaning headphones and getting that pocket fluff out of the deepest recesses of your phone, too.

As an employee of a website covering PC gaming and its adjacent ecosystems, I live surrounded by an undifferentiated sea of electronics. I'm submerged in a lawless tangle of keyboards, mice, chargers, headsets, earbuds, microphones, monitors, controllers, and more—all of which are subject, as all electronics are, to the constant and unrelenting accumulation of human gnarliness.

The Vichyie kit comes as a sort of obsidian monolith of cleaning potential. Pressing a depression on the top reveals a veritable arsenal of cleaners, scrapers, tweezers, and teeny, tiny little brushes, all situated in their own compartments. It's a panoply of purpose-built cleaning implements, with tools for liberating your many devices from the filth collecting in their countless crevices.

There's even a modular tool that can be equipped with different cleaning heads, like a small brush for cleaning charging ports and a metal tip for removing the nightmarish material that polite society has collectively agreed not to mention as it builds up in our earbuds and earbud cases.

There's a tool specifically for cleaning smartphone speakers, folks. I didn't even know that existed, and now I know that I've been suffering without one. That's how they get you.

Of course, the heavy hitter here is the keycap puller and keyboard cleaning brush. As a particularly hirsute man, I'm worsening the state of my keyboard simply by existing. It's in constant need of cleaning attention, but there's never a convenient place nearby to stash a keycap puller. That's not an issue if I can simply reach over towards my new and constant companion: a handy weaponized cleaning shape. Problem solved. Briefly.
