I found the cheapest way to keep your tech in pristine condition

I’ve always been a little obsessed with protecting and cleaning my tech devices. I’m constantly wiping down my laptop, smartphone, and handheld devices. I also almost always apply some sort of screen protector to gadgets like my ROG Ally X, Steam Deck OLED, iPhone 16 Pro, and more.

When it comes to removing dust and debris from my MacBook Pro’s keyboard, my stand-alone keyboard, or even harder-to-reach locations like my Xbox Series X’s internal fans, in the past I’ve relied on cans of compressed air. While they’re sometimes finicky (the number of times the little nozzle attachment has blown off on me is countless), they generally work reasonably well and blast away anything and everything in their path. On the other hand, they don’t last very long — at one point, I was going through a can every few weeks.

That’s when I discovered a useful, surprisingly cheap gadget that does the exact same thing. It’s the type of tech accessory you don’t know you need until you try it. It might also make a great gift for that tech enthusiast in your life who already has everything.

If you like to keep your gadgets dust and debris free, you need the $20 Compressed Air Duster from Cagiwiru.

It might sound silly, but it’s fundamentally changed the way I clean

Before you scroll to the comments to state that this is just an e-commerce-focused article and claim that I haven’t actually used the air duster, hear me out. While I’m always, of course, “in it for the clicks,” there’s more to this story. And yes, there is an affiliate link above, but I also genuinely love this thing and use it nearly every day.

This 68W duster has three power levels and comes with a variety of accessories. Other than the brush that’s great for cleaning my keyboard, I tossed most of these attachments on a shelf in my office closet and forget they exist. I typically just use the main nozzle for everything, whether I’m trying to get yesterday’s lunch out of my keyboard or I’m blasting dust off a phone I’m snapping pictures of for a review I’m working on.

One feature I appreciate over the trigger-based air blower I had before is that the Cagiwiru Black01 stays on with one click of the button. The next two clicks kick up the power more, with the third press turning off the air duster. It’s much easier to use the duster for longer periods when you don’t have to hold down the trigger. There’s also a built-in flashlight if you happen to be trying to dust inside a device that’s a little dark inside. I’m not quite sure how long the battery lasts, but in the six months I’ve had the air duster, I’ve only charged it once.

The duster charges via USB-C and can even be used to blow up inflatable objects like swimming rings and air cushions. I wish it had slightly more power to it, but given the $20 price, it’s difficult to complain. There are far more expensive options on Amazon that push out slightly more power, but in my research, I found that Cagiwiru’s option hit the best price to performance ratio.

Now, enjoy a gif of me cleaning my keyboard 🫡.
