Clean your keyboard day.

[knives669]

Wow... your keyboard was nasty! :lol: I clean mine everytime I can get some air duster stuff. That's alot better than prying the keys off.

[Mr_Putter]

My keyboard it clean, I know it, even though I've never looked inside or used one of those air thingies. I'm the only one who uses my computer, and I clean the surface of it often. And also, I don't eat near it, and when I do I keep crumbs away. Cuz computer is my amigo.

This might sound like a bad idea at first, but throw it in the dishwasher.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

honestly id love to throw my laptop in the dishwasher to clean it...but unfortunatley due to uhhh circumstances with water and electricity....

I threw up a little bit in my mouth when I saw that picture.

interesting thing about water and electricity, water is a good conductor for electricty. that means if you throw a plugged in radio into a bathtub full of water, and you are in the water, you are going to be electricuited, right? well, for 99.99999% of the time, yes, but not because of the water (well, it kinda is and kinda isnt). the electricty passes through the water and through your body, and the down the Metal drain. you and the water are just part of the circuit, just a conductor for electricty. but say your bathtub, and about 6 feet of your drain, is all completly made of rubber. you throw a plugged in radio into the bathtub full of water, and you are in it, and what do you know, you dont get shocked. electric device thrown into water, and nothing happens (well, the radio probably wouldnt work anymore, and it might flip a breaker).

This is quite true, but I think what he was meaning to infer is what you said. The lappy won't work anymore...

And if you want to get technical... it's not the water conducting electricity it's random ions added to clean it that conduct e-. Distilled (pure) water, does not conduct electricity well at all.

Wow... I didn't know that

[Loz]

Still works though. :D

Guess I didn't find it necessary to mention that. Next time I'll have my lawyer to write the post, so expect no more mixups :).

Nooo, bad idea, or atleast make sure it's on a cold wash first... I think it was Herr said about a year ago to do that, I chucked a single key in the dishwasher to test it... Left it wash, opened the dish washer and it was a little blob. You guessed, it melted. So, I advise people to use a cold wash first. :P

I spilled a gatorade on mine and it doesn't work, so had to get a new one. Maybe it has to do with it being wireless, I don't know how that could affect it though.

muhahaha I have that keyboard and there are no holes under the keys and stuff, cuz they are all connected by rubber and its one piece and stuff, hard to explain :P so all I have to do is wipe it with a wet rag and it's completely clean :D

mwehehe i dunno, my uncle moved and gave me all this stuff like digital cameras and new software and a mouse and this keyboard 8) but its called the virtually indestructible keyboard, and they have ones exaclty like it at comp usa but they are blacking greyish instead of clear :P

[Meesy]

Speaking of neat keyboards.

[Arcticrunite]

amagawd i so want that keyboard meesy, im so ordering that when i get the money for it which is in about 3-4 years :\

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

spare some change for the "give to rba so he can buy a new keyboard" fund?

[oz]

The keyboard on which I'm typing this is from... (checks label) 1985. That's older than me. It hasn't stopped working yet and I don't want to risk making it do so by cleaning it any more than necessary.

 

 

 

That's the sort of thing I'm talking about. Such a great keyboard. The only thing that stops me from painting over the key-caps so that only worthy people can use it is... well, two things: one, that I might forget where the h key is -- which would be disasterous -- and not wanting to deface such a great keyboard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saying all that, though, I have cleaned it fairly recently, and will continue to do so when it needs it -- if it's survived 20 years of button-mashing, I think it can handle a bit of a rub down every now and then.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm using one from '84 :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

these keyboards are awesome! they can take a hell of a beating and still type like no other. why did IBM stop making them?

[Pete_the_Viscous]

Probably so that you and I can feel superior :).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll tell you what I would like to try: one of those projected keyboards I saw on a gadget programme. Shines a picture of a keyboard onto a surface, onto which you type.
