Unplug the laptop. Clean keyboard.

Or rip it out and clean it.

Rip and Tear until it is done lol

Best Buy said this isn’t covered under warranty.

Unplugging the keyboard requires getting down on my hands and knees, groping around to find a plug I can't visually see, and probably dislocating my shoulder in the process.

And then even more luck required to get the plug I can't see back IN, trying the USB every single way blind by feel only, and neither way wants to accept it's the right one.

It's an absolute last resort.

My keyboard has a detachable cable so you can just unplug it from the keyboard

I'm happy for you

same, mine is also USB-C on the keyboard's end.

Yeah that's nice stuff.

I recently bought a mechanical keyboard with a USB C port for the connector. A cable came along with it.

The keyboard turned out to be absolute^[ok maybe not absolute, I might be able to salvage some components] garbage and I ended up with an expensive USB C cable.

Its odd that keyboards don't have USB on the back of them. Every other peripheral does it seems, but they usually come hard wired.
