You can use one of the USB plugs, one is just for wrist wrest underglow (I think). Pretty sure the cable labeled “Razer,” is the main one you use.
For cleaning, I would first wipe away whatever you can (gunk, dust, etc) then use an air duster can to spray away what you can’t get. If you don’t want to buy one, you can use a Q-tip but it won’t be as efficient. If there is stains that you can’t get rid of, rubbing alcohol would do the job.
Some people spray their keyboards with water, but please be careful. It’s very easy to mess up and make sure you dry the keyboard for 2-3 days before plugging it.
Anyways, congrats on your first keyboard!

I got a steelseries apex TKL or smthn like that at a garage sale for $5. It took like 10 CLOROX WIPES to clean. There was full head of hair in there.

Thanks! The cleaning process is pretty relaxing and satisfying to see it looking brand new in an afternoon.

The keys are getting a bath right now. Didn't have an air canister so the keyboard without keys went to the garage and had a leaf blower dusting.

Might wanna remove the key caps and wash them in some soapy water. Air can spray the board while the caps soak. Should be like new.

PC gamer should really give him a ticket to a Mech-Meet.

Where perfectly lubed keyboards are next to a normal, a overlubed, and a N00B lubed board.
then see if he can see a difference

More and more I see that somehow Razer users don't give a damn about their keyboards AT ALL (bought Blackwidow 2013, 2014 and 2016 second-hand)...

Congratulations, great to see people get satisfaction from gear that’s reasonably priced with a bit of fixup!!

They may be idiots, but at least they're not lubing switches.

To be 100% honest, most of the time improved sound is the bigger attribute I am looking for when I lube my switches. Better feel is great, especially if you have particularly scratchy switches, but the sound profile is just so much better to my ears after lubing.

It works! Tried it right before putting the key caps in a bath.

Maybe, but if you clean it properly, honestly doesn’t make that much difference I feel

Welcome! I’m fairly new as well. I’m in college and type long hours on pretty extensive assignments. When I got in this hobby I just couldn’t go back to a membrane keyboard. I cringe every time I have to use one lol. I also do some light gaming. I like lubed linear switches. Gives me that satisfying T H O C K

Nice find, check the volume control because it’s the worst part in this keyboard.. I suffered with mine not properly controlling the volume

Can't say much on the lubing (I have no interest in it), but I'm interested in the 75% keyboard the article referenced.
