    My Keyboard is Disgusting

    On the show "Brink", I saw a new keyboard that could be washed in the dishwasher without damage. This just seems stupid though.

    How about one that's totally flat and smooth. Do they make those? Surely technology has advanced that far.

    Mine is nasty. It's really neat with tons of features I never use. But, all those extra buttons do a great job of catching food, dust, ash, unknown?? and dirt.

    Funny you should mention this.

    I just cleaned my keyboard last night.

    Popped all the keys off with a screwdriver

    Man, it was loaded with hair

      Hair??

      We told you to stop or you'd grow hair on your palms.

        I'm guessing it's pubic hair.

        It certainly didn't come from my bald head

            They do make laser keyboards for a thousand dollars a pop. You lay down two light discs and it creates a laser beam light grid virtual keyboard on your plain wood desk. Your fingers touching each virtual square key actually works. I don't know if these things have been released to the public but I have seen them in computer magazines when they first designed them. Amazing.



            I also have a a "roll out" rubber keyboard I take to clients houses or when I am working on computers for clients in the kitchen. I got mine for thirty bucks. Very handy. Rolls up and fits into a plastic cylinder for easy storage.
            The only downfall, they are not fast typing. The keys have to be pushed down really hard.

              I remember the old Atari 400 computer had a smooth membrane keyboard and the Timex Sinclair had a smooth cardboard (!) keyboard. You couldn't type worth crap on them though.

                  Never really considered this before.

                  Mine seems okay for now though. I should probably move the water bottle away from it though.

                      I agree they are a pain to clean. I wipe of the keys with a fantastic wipe and to clean out dust and gunk get a can of Dust Spray. It really works.

                        OK that image is now stuck in my head, and I don't like it


                        Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

                            I hate when you get all of that build up on there from the oil from your fingers.

                              I used the vacuum hose on my keyboard once. I didn't realise the keys came away so easily. Never again.
