keyboard covers

[Connonym]

anyone use one? I just ruined my 3rd keyboard this year and it's pissing me off (not to mention expensive as hell). Where does one get one?

1. I go through about 6-7 a year

That's an improvement since I kinda got a hold of my drunkeness :D

If you find out let me know :)

:hi:

7. that is so cool, if they had a split keyboard I'd get one in a heartbeat

right now my wrists are aching like hell typing on the tiny little Dell keyboard that came with my computer.

3. saran wrap?

I'll never forget the day I spilled an entire glass of lemonade on my (then) brand new imac keyboard...A Hundred dollars for a replacement. Dude at the computer store said if I had just immersed it in water immediately it would have been OK...But lemonade is a great conductive for electricity and that was why it shorted out...

4. Silicon skin

is what I use on my laptop keyboard since I eat at my 'puter.

5. ... what are you doing to your keyboards?

Seriously, I've had the same one for years. It's lasted me through three computers now just fine. And it's just a cheap old Microsoft one.

6. spilling drinks on them

The cheaper lesson would be to not drink at my keyboard but I put in a good 8-10 hours on it a day working and no way can I not have water. Maybe I could learn to be less clumsy but at my age I think it's highly unlikely.

8. That, or find a water container that won't spill as easily.

:shrug:

I've used keyboards with plastic covers on them before, they work just fine but they do take a bit away from the sensitivity. If you've got light typing fingers it might get in the way.

11. I think I should be kept away from keyboards -- I just spilled water in another one!!

I just spilled water on the cheapo Dell keyboard that came with the computer. Cheapie or not this one is still working whereas the $50 microsoft keyboard shorts out with water. Go fucking figure!

Thanks for the suggestions all. I'm definitely going to order a "condom" for my keyboard, because clearly I'm not going to stop spilling water into it :eyes:
