I just spent a half-hour cleaning my grungy keyboard. ASK ME ANYTHING!

1. Have you

banned eating at the keyboard now?

[NightTrain]

4. Never!

Hell, it took me six years to finally clean that damned keyboard. At this rate, I won't clean it again until 2010!

2. Is it still working?

The last time I did that I broke a metal piece on the space bar and ended up buying a new keyboard. I swear I will never, ever clean my keyboard again! I hope your cleaning worked better for you.

[NightTrain]

3. Yes, it is!

I used paper towels dabbed with rubbing alcohol. What did you use on your keyboard?

[silverlib]

12. I popped the keys off to ...

really get it clean - big mistake!

5. Did you know you can actually wash them?

Just make sure it is thoroughly dry before you hook it back up.

[NightTrain]

6. I'd be afraid to!

I was concerned enough that the rubbing alcohol would seep down under the keys and cause serious damage. Thankfully, it appears not to have done so. But I don't think I wanna risk washing the keyboard!

Thanks for the heads-up, though. :hi:

10. I tried it once, after seeing it on TechTv

When I hooked it back up, my computer went crazy. I thought I had ruined it, but it turned out it just wasn't completely dry. Not for the faint of heart. :)

:hi:

7. Kudos to you for actually cleaning it..

I probably would have just gone out and bought a new one. :evilgrin:

[Catshrink]

8. Can I send mine over?

It needs a good cleaning....

9. Did you buy it in Seattle in the early 90's?

if so, find a guy with a flannel shirt on and donate it.

Time for a new one? But what to choose? There hasn't been any original music since the grunge days! Recycled melodies and lack of!

13. Actually, I was referring to the keyboard on my computer!

14. ah, the joys of keyboard skins . . .

whenever I buy a new computer, the first thing I invest in is a keyboard skin . . . keeps the little buggers clean as a whistle . . . the keyboard from my last computer is about ten years old and looks like new . . .
