I won't comment on my LAST keyboard ...  But I must admit that grape juice can be VERY sticky at times ... The one I'm using right now also had its share ... but no jiuce in it, thank God ! |

I have this cool little brush I use to sweep my keyboard, so it's not too bad.
Every keyboard I get I wear the letters off though, sooner or later. The most used letters, at least.

As a (former) cleaning lady, i find my own keyboard dirty enough, but since I'm no longer a cleaning lady but a worker in a factory, I don't clean my keyboard that often anymore, so yes it's a bit messy now

Oohkay, here are some pictures... don't laugh! And yes, I know some of you might bolt but don't! This is what my keyboard looked like. Keyboard after cleaning midway: Yeah, I didn't clean it for 2 months. No pix of keypad 'cos it's even worse. ><;;  Amount of dirt:  After some more of brush + Fellowes wipes, this is what the keyboard looks like now.  Final:   Overall picture:  |

A little cleaner than that, but still not enough for my taste if I stop to look at it... Black keyboards show sooner when they get dirty, for the better and the worse. |

What do you do with your keyboard? I haven't cleaned mine once since I got it three years ago (unles you call the occasional hoovering cleaning) and it works as fine as ever...

I don't really eat much at the keyboard. Actually, it's 'cos this place is located near a major highway, a railway track, a bus terminal and an open-air carpark so things tend to get really dusty and dirty. That and when under stress, I tend to shed like a freaking cat. ;__; |

Then again, I'm very sure that Peter must suffer from nosebleeds every time he looks at pretty females(a la manga and anime). |

I vacumed my keyboard thorougly with a small brush that goes under the keys to get every piece of sticky stuff under there. Lucky I never spill drinks on my keyboard. But once in a year, I flip all the keys off and clean it with some aceton. The trick is to remeber where all the keys have to be after you're done ;D

A while ago I read someone saying that on must keyboards you can put ooff the keys - and wash them in a sock.  Or a similar bag made of cloth. The only difficulty is to get the keys in order again ... |
