I find the edges of the little window are the main culprit.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Clean the edges of the little window specifically, just the middle is not enough - a Q-tip cannot get into corners and along the edge.

I have the same question in another post, ordered the microbrushes and Eclipse from Amazon. 

This has been a constant problem for me, I clean the viewfinder multiple time while I am shooting, always carried Q-Tips but have switched to a microfiber cloth use an alcohol/water/dish soap glasses cleaner viewfinder and the little sensor but hasn't helped much. I get the menu on the LCD when I turn on the camera but after depressing the shutter I can't get the menu back on the LCD. Turn off the camera and back on again I get the menu on the LCD, press the shutter and again the menu on the LCD goes away. Constantly cleaning the viewfinder. Oh yes I wear glasses. 

Thx

Which micro rushes did you order?

The brand and size of the microbrushes are irrelevant. Just make sure that you can get into the corners. These would do the trick as well:

I picked up some micro brushes from Amazon, yes they work better than what I had been using, also ordered some Eclipse and was just told I won't have it until next week, so much for Prime. B&H doesn't ship Eclipse, no camera stores with in 100 miles. 

So used my glasses cleaner with the micro brush and no luck, LCD is still cutting out. Take my eye away from the viewfinder and LCD doesn't come back on, press menu and the menu only resides in the viewfinder.

Still annoyed by the EVF switch to LCD thing. Microbrushes and Eclipse didn't do the trick. Contacted Leica and after some back and forth they want to evaluate the problem. So I am sending the camera to Leica. Seems firmware 2.2 was supposed to fix this. See what happens.

Sent the camera to Leica after a go around with their triage person. Firmware 2.2 was supposed to take care of this problem, but didn't for me. I just got a note from Leica repair saying they were able to duplicate the problem and will do necessary adjustments or repair. I thought this might be a month long problem, so getting acquainted with my Nikon.
