Re: don't tip water onto a keyboard :)


[re: zyborg47] [link to this post]
 
I knocked Soda over mine a few years ago, I unplugged it soooo fast and took it apart and rushed it into the shower and tipped a bit of shampoo on the keyboard switches and washed them out.

I then laid the keyboard with the keys facing down on top of a towel and left it for a few days.

I also now wash my keyboard once or twice a year.

Keyboards were simple things years ago, a lot of them were rubber dome, were able to be cleaned easily. These days, a lot of them have a fair bit of electrics in.
The one I tipped whatever it was on had a rechargeable battery in and LEDs.

I got the new one now, just got to get used to it, very noisy compared to the other one.

Mmm, not sure about this keyboard, I thought almost like the old one, but with proper keys it would be better. It is nicer to type on, not that I am a great typer But I keep going up to the Function keys for the numbers. Also, the end and page up keys being close to the enter key is a pain. I suppose I will get used to it, I will have to get used to it, it cost a fair bit.

Oh mine is a Logitech G512 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with GX Brown Tactile Key Switches.

Mine is also loud and clunky.

This one is the Logitech MSX mechanical mini, I had the Keys version before, so a flat keyboard more or less.
I did have a Corsair mechanical one at some point, it was a nice keyboard, until the firmware failed to install, and it ended up as a door stop.

This keyboard, like the Keys version have both Mac and normal Windows legends on and can be used on 3 different machines just by a couple of key clicks.

The one I used while waiting for this one was a Logitech G110
