I can honestly say, nope, I've never sniffed a keyboard. I'm still not inclined to do so either. .

To clean mine (tops and sides), I use Q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol; most of the alcohol is squeezed out first with a paper towel or cotton cloth.

Not sure why some keyboards might get stinky, but... well: I'm at a loss for words.

Since I haven't a need or urge to sniff my keyboard, I called a friend and asked her to smell hers.

Dunno why but she said, and most emphatically, I might add: "No! I'm not sniffing my keyboard."

I tried to recruit someone to do it. .
