Title: So.. who actually cleans their keyboards?
Post by: coolzeldad on May 05, 2012, 10:57:24 AM
So, I have dealt with a lot of keyboards that have never been cleaned... that people still use... like 5+ years old LOL.

Its really disgusting IMO and they are so easy to clean, only takes like 5 minutes to wipe down all the keys and surface.

Sometimes I start hallucinating and see villages full of organisms under each key warring with each other... then I just realize I'm probably tripping on the mold spores building up on a year old old sliver of pepperoni under the spacebar.

So I was wondering, for avid computer users like yourselfz... do you ever clean you keyboard?

If not... have you ever looked at the damn thing o_o LOOK

I monthly turn it down and hit it softly, as to move all the shit down, and then pass a soft tissue over the keys. I biannually take each and every key off, clean them, and clean the plastic of the keyboard. Some things are really tough to remove. Also, last year I first hard-cleaned it, and I lost key #9. I've since been using a paper to replace it.

Also, I hope I can just buy a better keyboard instead of cleaning this one.

I actually cleaned my keyboard like a couple months ago.. I took out every key, and got all the dirt, hair, caked on food, and crumbs out of it. It was freaking disgusting.

The gloss on mine is a fucking fingerprint magnet which I wipe down every day. I shake it every other day to shake out any loose crumbs between the keys. Sometimes I'll take the keycap off if I can see something that won't come out.

every couple of days i turn it over and smack it on my desk to knock crap out of it... but like 2-3 times a year I'll pop out all the keys and let them soak in soapy water for like 30 minutes then scrub them all clean.

On another note. On mine they use this plastic on the keys that really should not be used for keycaps. It's strong but after only like 3 months since I bought it they have completely lost their texture and are greasy-shiny looking
