How do i clean dust/potatochip/dandruff etc under my Alienware 14 keyboard?

Can the button be removed without breaking it? Or do i need screwdriver to open up the entire laptop?

Turn off the laptop. Open the screen so it is 90 degree's from the keyboard. Set the entire computer on the left or right side. Hang on to the computer so it does not fall over. Now use a can of canned air (called many things) with the straw in it, and go over the keyboard as good as you can, blowing between the keys. The can will get very cold and the pressure will drop. Set it aside and use another can, or just let the first can warm to room temperature before using it again. The pressure will return as it warms up.

I would not recommend removing the keys. The parts are small and can break easily.
