    Most dirty keys on MacBook Pro keyboard

    Hello there Mac`s owners. I noticed that most dirty keys on my MacBook Pro`s keyboard is T and Y (look on the photo). I think the reason of this problem is active cooler system on Macs. Thus on MacBook without coolers there is no dirty keyboards. What do you think about it? Cheers and спасибо!
