I found out (the hard way) that the yellow printing on the K4 front
panel is easily scratched off (augh!). There was something stuck on one
of the letters, and without thinking I took a fingernail to it, and much
to my horror, I now have a "R M ANT" yellow label under the ANT button.
:-(
Given that experience, I'm not likely to take ANYTHING to the front
panel to clean it, period.
I'd rather live with the occasional dirt, rather than lose the
lettering. Sigh.

That's not actually true. Silly Putty was originally developed in 1943
by a researcher at general Electric named James Wright who was trying
to make synthetic rubber. It didn't work, though, and eventually
became the children's toy we all loved.
Silly Putty WAS very briefly marketed for cleaning wall paper, but it
didn't work for that either.
You may be thinking of Play-Doh, which indeed was originally developed
as a wallpaper cleaner sometime in the previous decade.
In any case, this gel is actually a gel and having had experience with
all three I can truthfully say that this gel doesn't act at all like
either Silly Putty or Play-Doh. It's flexible, very gooey, and
slightly moist ... but doesn't seem to stick to anything except dust,
including your skin.
