I used one of blobs on my laptop and desktop keyboards a couple ears ago - it worked ... well enough. Certainly worth a couple bucks. But they dont; take too long to tunr into a sticky glob of grossness after opening and exposing it to air. I still prefer to use a can o' "air" on my laptop, and pop the keys off my desktop keyboard for a thorough clean. Though, you'd be surprised what you can get out of you just flip your keyboard over and smack it on your desk a few times.
But I imagine these would be nice for scissor-type key mechanisms, where they can be tough to pop off without breaking.

I think some of the other cheaper stuff may turn into a big mess, but this stuff has been at room temp for a few days and still working great. No sticky mess or residue left behind. And it got all the keys clean even in between. I've use the canned air and a brush and still this stuff did a much better job. I did flip the keyboard over and give it a good mask to get all the loose stuff though. You don't realize what a crumb catcher these things are until you bang them out.

I flip my keyboard over between rounds in BO, just for a snack mind you... but yeah the stuff that gets caught in there is welllllll, an awesome storage place!
