Dirty Nasty Filthy Keyboard

Stuff that fell out of my keyboard when I turned it over and gave it a good spanking. What's in your keyboard?

As my good buddy Hugh said: "Save it in a jar - good for salads!"

@nsx2200 Heh... you have a great eye for detail. I have three keyboards which I rotate from time to time. So far, all three survive an occasional trip through the dishwasher. I guess I should re-cut this piece using the same keyboard throughout... but it really does work. Cheers!

Ive spilled liquid into my keyboard (not much) and it ruined several. I couldnt dry them with a fan, take the keys off and wipe them, or anything to save them. How is this differant? Im just curious.

Wow, extreme... I tend to remove a couple of the keys and use the hose on the vacum cleaner if I'm desperate to clean it.

@art101tv All I did was spank the keyboard and it got cleaned very good. I couldn't wash it because of these reasons.

1. I don't have a dishwasher.

2. My laptop is, well it's a laptop.

So yeah the good spanking did the trick! :D

Sure does! Lot's of keyboards (but not all brands) will survive a trip through the dishwasher. Just use the shortest, coolest setting and *turn OFF* the heater at the end of the cycle (otherwise it might melt). Then shake out as much water as you can and let it *completely* dry out for a week.

I have a couple of spare keyboards, so I switch 'em while a clean one is drying out. If you have a spare you don't care about wrecking, give it a shot.
