Shake your keyboard!

[Yoda Power]

I just tried to turn my keyboard upside down. Then I shaked it, all kind of funny stuff came out of it. Most of it were food remains, however I also found some hair and some dust.

Now shake your keyboard and tell me what you find

 

[Turner]

Oh god no! A new life form might pop out.... I don't even want to THINK of what could be in my keyboard!

 

[stormbind]

I found that you're a weirdo

But to answer you question, not much. My keyboard has mostly gunky-looking fluff/dust deep inside.

 

[WickedSmurf]

All kindsa odd stuff fell out, looks like tiny tiny garbage and trash.

(Disclaimer: This is my keyboard at work)

I've heard somewhere that in keyboards, especially public used ones, more bacterias and other unhealthy stuff is than in most toilets. So don't eat and type

 

[G-Man]

Hmm... Nothing....

Yup, that seems to be my lot as well. (How did that peice of shredded cheese get in there?)

I have a plastic cover on my keyboard, to prevent anything from getting in!

 

[Captain Carnage]

watch out, my friend tipped his keyboard upside down and shook it and all his keys fell out

 

[Dell19]

Did he put it back together again?

 

[HamaticBabylon]

Did he put it back together again?

In alphabetical order, I hope!

Dell19, your avatar is smoking!

Hey, that's better than what happened to me....

I used to work for a lab that did tests on blood, saliva and urine (you see where this is going?) and one day I was called out to change a VT420 keyboard. I picked up the old one, tested it, and replaced it. As I walked off back to my cubby, I tilted the keyboard 90 degrees to carry it easier, and got a handful of urine. Thank god I had gloves on....

Ugggh

Anyway, just shook mine, lots of dirt, food particles or alien life forms, and hair...

Thats not nice...

Did the keyboard actually still work or was that why it was being replaced?

 

[Turner]

It was being replaced because it didn't work. The labrats weren't always tech-savvy, and I can't tell you how many times I turned the monitor on, or plugged it back in. After drying out, it worked okay. Little sticky from the urine.... Those VT420 keyboards are like cockroaches - impossible to kill w/o drastic measures, and will probably survive us after the nuclear war.

I just replaced my keyboard after spilling some ilk on the old one... it didn't really work anymore.


This new one is worse, though, shouldn't have bought the cheapest I found...

 

[Mikoyan]

Meh, just a few crumbs and some dust.

 

[IglooDame]

Hey, my "any" key fell off!

 

[nonconformist]

Crumbs! That's what fell out.
