I have washed my keyboard under the faucet on 2 occasions {someone spilled coffee on it }
rinse it well and shake it to get the excess water out of it, then let it sit in the sun or finish drying it with a blow dryer.. it really did work for me.. but it didn't work the 3rd time - son spilled syrup on it and then left to go to work... Just wayyy too sticky i think and then dried on - I didn't know about it until hours later when I tried to type and the keys were all sticky... washing didn't help took it apart and that didn't help can't buy that kind any more either... just a look alike one, but the keys don't feel the same .. PS - I just smelled my keyboard. just a bit dusty smelling LOL

I just can't see buying a brand new keyboard if all it needs is a cleaning. And by the way, the first time I sniffed a keyboard of the 3 times I actually have sniffed a keyboard, it was a used, 2 years old, computer someone had given me. Perfectly good computer and keyboard, they had just needed a bigger computer for their business so I got it that way. I am a bit of a germophobe myself and wanted it CLEAN. |

I saw these at Staples one day for $10, they're pretty cool and all the mechanism is encased in the silicone so you could literally sponge it off if so inclined.
They only work for PCs but, shoot, talk about a disposable solution! They get great reviews, so it is certainly a viable option for you keyboard sniffers.
