Waterproof Keyboards!
NPR had them on Morning Edition this week!
If I could get it in a split natural style, that would be great! I have already shorted out two or three keyboards with wet droplets falling from my hair. Totally stinks. There is only so much you can do.
If you really want to clean them, alcohol swabs work best. If there are crumbs, pop off the keys *gently* and then clean the inside with another alcohol swab, or vacuum.

Yeah, I heard the NPR report too. I’d definitely put my keyboard in the dishwasher, but who can live without it for the week of drying time?! A couple times, I spilled a full glass of some liquid all over mine. I took it apart, dried it as best I could and put it back together, only to be disappointed that it wasn’t working properly. However, I live in a rather dry, desert climate, and by the next day, apparently it had completely dried and still works years later.

I never knew there was a ‘right’ way to clean a keyboard. I’ve always just turned it upside down and banged it until whatever fell out. LOL
Learn something new everyday. Thanks girlie!

This post is really timely! My backspace key on my laptop is stuck and it won’t move. I bought an $8 aerosol can to clean out my keyboard after flipping it upside down and patting it for crumbs and dust. The aerosol can isn’t helping the backspace key undo whatever is sticking inside. I might get desperate and try the suggestions or try living without a backspace key for now.

sfmoneymusings: try wedging the key off and see if you can clean underneath and then put the key back on.
