Just tried to clean my 2 year old dell Keyboard out...and failed, due
to the screwey design of the keyboard.

Looking between the keys, it assumes a sort of sickly green tone

EDIT: Using compressed air to blow the crap out, and it looks like...

*ugh*

Hair.

Mine is much, much worse. I don't know *what* my mother spilled in there, but it took me an hour to clean out the bottom row of keys this morning. Tomorrow.. the next row.

Probably nasty. Unfortunately, my IBM keyboard (not the Model M, alas ) doesn't want to be opened up.

It's pretty dusty but there's no sticky keys or cumstains, so that' good enough.

Mine's got that brownish-grey buildup of skin oil and dust on the keys. There's also crumbs and hair between them. Amazingly, I've never spilled liquids on it.

Looks like food particles in mine. I want to buy another keyboard; the one I use should be down to $20 now.

I clean mine once a month. I need to, my dad spends lots of time on my machine and he's a chain smoker. If i don't clean all the parts of my PC once a month it takes on a rather nastly cream colour.

Pretty much just oil and dust.

A little bit of everything. I would buy that compressed air stuff to clean it out, but I always just freeze stuff with it and waste it.

A tramp could live off the contents of my keyboard for a month and half the keys are wrecked (when I get pissed off I have a habit of belting the keyboard...)

Ditto...I broke off the little tabs on the back of it that stand it up while doing accounting homework.

Tell me about it. I actually killed my first keyboard after a particularly frustrating Doom session (yes, I go back that far).

Solution
a)Check your temper

b)get an old IBM keyboard. I swear those things are indestructible.
I never use the windows key anyway.

As for the cleanliness of my keyboard, it's somewhat dusty but that's it.

But I am SO not discussing what my mouse looks like...

Durron, WRT the tabs-same here.

My keyboard has pancake syrup stains on the "u" and "i" keys. For a while the 2 keys typed at the same time. The sides of the keyboard have brown and red stains on it, and that's just the food;
I don't know what is beneath the keys, but it rustles when I turn it on its side.

BTW, Dalton, is this FUQable?

My two year old keyboard is quite clean, despite never having been cleaned beyond me wiping it with a paper towel or shaking it over a trashcan, and I eat while typing quite heavily.

You didn't happen to use it as a sex toy by any chance did you?

On a related note I've seen some sick videos of force-feedback joysticks being used as vibrators while screening porn in my Canada Customs job.

I keep it clean. And I make sure to aim away from the computer when I fap off, too.

Dust, oil, food particulates, small colonys of sentient life... Its all there. My mouse I have to clean bi-weekly (yes, it gets dirty that fast...) probably going to by an optic mouse sometime within the next month (if I remember... so probably within the next 1-2 years to be more accurate)...

Good God.....is there nothing people WON'T stick up their ass and or vaginal canals........

Also wouldnt a good vibrator be CHEAPER than a force-feed back joystick?

ROTF!

Yeah, mine's dirty too.

Take a picture of the keyboard, then pull off the keys, and clean the dirt underneath. Fixing the spacebar and enter key took awhile though.

After seeing what was under the space bar ALONE, I'm afraid to look at the keyboard that ISNT the bottom row...

Let me put it this way:

I just negotiated a mutual non-agression pact between what lives in my keyboard and humanity.

That's what I'm afraid I might have to do.. o O

Just a bunch of skin flakes and some hair...
