In addition to the other tips here, it would also be easier if you could disassemble the entire keyboard and lift it from the frame entirely. I’m not sure how ThinkPads are constructed, but the other brands I’ve used can come off, and then you can clean the plastic on top of the circuitry more vigorously (let dry completely before putting it back on)
I’m super into making things and trying to be more sustainable. I love animals and don’t eat them. Working in the tech industry currently, but in the public sector so that I can still sleep well at night. I try to be a more positive force in a turbulent world without slipping into being toxic.

Awesome work, and thank you for sharing the process! I like collecting these off-brand MP3 players from years ago, and there’s just not that much information on how to do these upgrades/fixes these days.
I’ve got a NOMAD Zen Xtra but haven’t done much with it yet. The battery’s borked and I haven’t worked out an easy work flow for getting stuff on it just yet. One day…
