Newbie question: I've been using a DAS Pro S for the past three months or so and so far, I've been using this black cloth that came with the unit to clean it of dust and lint. I'm wondering if any of you have suggestions/advice about how else I can keep my keyboard clean and functional. Is there a cover I can buy to protect it or some special microfiber cloth I can use to clean it?
How do you guys keep your keyboards clean and well-maintained?

I don't clean keyboards unless they are so filthy that I am disgusted or there is a functional problem. Both do not happen without spilling something on them.
That being said I have this Cherry giveaway brush and a self-made tiny nozzle for my vacuum cleaner.

Vacuum clean over the keys every week with the brush nozzle that came with the vacuum cleaner.

lol.
your general daily wipedown should be sufficient to keep your treasures shiny. get a keypuller and canned air if you feel inclined to get dust, dandruff, hair, and other undesireables out of your equipment every month or so.

If a keyboard is really dirty, I spray it with dishwashing liquid through a Karcher high pressure washer, then vacuum the water out.
If a keyboard isn't really dirty, I don't bother. It's a tool that's meant to be used. Granted, I'm not a collector. The aforementioned thorough cleaning about once in a year works for me.

If you don't take care of your high performance "tool", it will fail on you. Be it Ferrari, 1911, Ducati, or AR-15.
This is why most people can't have nice things.
