This keyboard is pretty sick. I've had it here at work for a couple of years.
In between the keys there are small hairs and little chunks of who-knows-what stuck on there by a coat of oily dirt.
what do you do? take a q-tip to it? or just get a new one?

Wipe it with an open faced bread roll and then go get lunch for the boss.

pop the keys off with a pen or a screwdriver or something, then get down and dirty... or just avoid it until a counterstrike tantrum does it in for good

Haven't you seen Gattica? He uses a little vaccum to clean all traces of himself from it.
anyhow, pop the keys off, be careful with the spacebar and some of the wider keys.
Get rubbing alcohol and some q-tips and have at it. DO NOT eat what you find inside. It's most likely months and years worth of leftovers, dead skin, eyelashes, hair, etc.

How many times a day do your fingers touch that thang? Buy a new one... cleaning won't give you peace of mind ;)

apparently you can wash your keyboard, no need to take it apart. just dont use soap, and make sure its at least drying for 40 hours before you use it again.

yeah, just trow it in the dishwasher for half an hour and go have some sushi.
while you're out, get a red rose a shovel and a cross. i have no idea why you'd need those things, but it just sounds right.

i have washed mine before when i spilled soda on it.
but if you keyboard is so nasty just treat yourself and go get a fancy new one.

and what if you have a fancy one that you want to clean? Don't know about you, but I'm wouldn't be too into spending another $50 or whatever for a new wireless Logitech keyboard just because I didn't want to clean an existing one.

ok, I'm set now :) I'm at work... I went into the storage room and found a clean one.
ahhh much better... now I got to get the oily dirt, sanwich crumbs and hair off the rest of my desk...

I ussually just turn it upside down and shake the mother out of it.. then get some of those glass cleaner whips and that does it....
or i buy a new one because i ruin em ell with spilt water

i go through anywhere from two to tree keyboards a week. i just like breakin stuff. boss comes in early am and i'm still not awake, if he gives me lip i just crack one upside his scull. he knows better now.
sometimes i'll just throw one at the wall and scream "GOBBILY GOO DADA SCIZUMSCA" just to freak out everyone i work with.
helps keep them on their toes. good for moral.
