When was the last time you cleaned your keyboard? Think it was recently? Just tap the bottom on your desk and see what falls out

I don't work from home but a colleague called IT support because her keyboard had packed up. The guy turned it upside down and several large pieces of chocolate fell out

Err. When a friend of mine last looked closely at it and freaked out.

Although that's not true. She cleaned it

I should probably clean it more often, but I give it a bash with a screen wipe every so often.

Seriously, do you always outsource everything to your friends??

It's attached to the laptop, not sure bashing it on the desk will do it a lot of good.

An actual wipe down?

Not often enough probably.

I use a handheld hoover a few times a week over my whole desk as I'm sat here a lot.

When I worked from home years before it became a thing I was obsessed with keeping my keyboard clean.

It was a chunky key one on a PC, not a laptop and I kept the cover on it.

It was in my home office room and no one else used it.

Years later I got a laptop for admin and couldn't care less.

I even let the screen get dirty as they're so cheap to replace.

I don't lick my fingers after using it though as I lend it out.

Did you see that australian worker who was fired because the company she worked for used keyboard technology to workout how much time she was on the keyboard during her working day, technology such a wonderful thing

How do you not notice chocolate falling in?

I wipe mine down weekly too but just tapped it on the desk for the first time in a while today and well...

There are definitely times I want to bash my laptop against the desk!

All the time.

I'm a PC Master Race nerd, so that shit is like premium and pristine to me. So the work one is just an extension of what I practice anyway.

A friend of mine had a keyboard that was so nasty that I had to use hot soapy water on it. Removed all the keycaps, unscrewed the case, lifted out the circuit board. All the non-electric bits in the hot water for a good long soak and a scrub; drained out the disgusting soup that the water had turned into, acceptably clean after a couple of rinses...

Soft brush to get bits off the circuit board, then alcohol wipes for the baked on slime. More alcohol wipes to sanitise the cable.

Reassembled the whole thing, all the keys now working without crunching noises... Returned to owner after carefully randomising all the keycaps

I change my colleagues keys around to say "penis" all the time.

Never gets old.

My work keyboard (at my actual office desk) is abnsolutely gross - I inherited it when I started about 10 years ago and it was gross and I haven't cleaned it since!

This is just totally unnecessary labour! I have a keyboard plugged into my laptop so I'd need to clean TWO. And that ain't happening.

High Lighthouse!

A bit off topic. A friend once sprinkled cress seed on a chap at work's keyboard when he was on holiday.

He put nice damp tissue over it and tended it carefully till he got back...
