I just bought a new macbook pro 15” and want to buy a compressed air to clean the keyboard. Could you please suggest a brand for me? Many thanks
If it is new, there is no need for it at all; I've had mine for 2 years and it is fine while following the recommendations here:

Compressed air is wasteful in my opinion, and I carry around a handheld dust blower to clean out keyboards instead. It lasts years instead of weeks, too!
I would not use anything that is not on Apple's recommended list as it would most likely either void your warranty (if there are any consequences after using it) or Apple will simply refuse to repair because of the damage caused.
Interesting that Apple seemingly did a 180 in their instructions; I do not have a newer laptop, so had not seen the newer recommendations; obviously must have to do with what is under the hood (so to speak).
Like 'rocket blower' in my possession, acquired to clear dust from sensor & lens chamber of DSLR.
(.Canned-air and like products may discharge liquids that can be damaging to electronics, also to
optical coatings. ~ Some used to contain freon, and could 'freeze on contact' if skin were sprayed.)
Good suggestion because this idea is useful for more than one thing; esp. if one has cameras too.
PS: Though maybe not so useful if the portable Mac & keyboard is still under applecare..!😊
