We have boxes of keyboards at work that get thrown away on a regular basis, if I spill something in one or it gets dirty I just throw it away and get a new one for free.

I have 2 kids, 5&6.


I just toss mine when it starts acting up.
I can only imagine what they get in the keys

I have two of the original MS natural keyboards… You can take them apart and put them in the washing machine. They’ve lasted more than two years so far.

The only drawback is that you can’t type on anything else after you get used to them.

It can be fun to pop the keys off of a co-workers keyboard.  Then rearrange them to spell out some little message.

I have a bluetooth keyboard so there's no way that I'm just tossing it when the keys get all, er, uh sticky dirty.  I have to take all the keys off and clean it.  But, yeah, there is some nasty shiite in there.  And it's sticky from my son playing on the computer you nasty f(*ks!

Swap the "M" and "N" keys  most people type by sight not memory so it will work like a charm. Takes most people a while to figure out what is wrong

What a way to reach the 200th post mark huh?
