My keyboard has some kind of mold....
or fungus growing up between the keys.

Also, there are more crumbs between the keys than I have ever seen.

Additionally, the letters A, S, and D are completely worn off.

My mouse is covered with about 1/8th of an inch of Cheesy Poof dust.

The "8" key has so much chicken wing grease on it that I cannot recognize the key when the light hits it a certain way.

*sngh*

*brap*

5. Just drop it in a pot of boiling water. If there's any wine left in the glasses on the table from
the party last night, dump it in, if nobody's drunk it yet

6. They did a study of keyboards in your average office a decade ago.
Number one thing they found on keyboards? Urine!!! Get thee to a new keyboard. Seriously.

8. What does "sngh" mean?
You seem to be able to hit the letters, A, S, and D very well in your OP. ;)

How are you? How's your ribs? :hug:

10. I certainly wouldn't recommend that you keep using it
Just pop the keys off and try to clean out what's around and under it. Let it dry for a day and you should be in good shape.

If that seems too inconvenient and you want to try something risky, you could put the keyboard in a dishwasher (no soap). Put the USB or PS/2 in a plastic bag and seal it. Wait a day or two and see if it works.
