Keyboarding

Ok so I haven't updated in a while, but I've been really busy with a few projects which you may or may not see in the future. How many of you feel like you have disgustingly sick keyboards with hair, skin flakes, food, eraser bits, etc. stuck between the keys. Ever try to clean your keyboard with a paper towel or tissue paper? Fail. I know for me it doesn't take too long for the gunk to build up and I don't even eat by my computer that often. Here's a tip my coworker showed me. You can pop off the keys using a nail clipper and basically clean the whole thing. I was bored at 2AM after a night of coding so I decided to give it a whirl on my Logitech.



Don't look too close at the next pic because it's pretty nasty. I think you'd find Cheez-Its and parmesan Goldfish (my fav).






And the rebuild ... be sure you know where the keys go or make sure you have a reference keyboard! Haha.



The result isn't EXACTLY like a new keyboard out of the box, but it's close. I'll probably buy a new one anyway because I love the feel of a new keyboard.
