ARGGGGHHHH!

Perish the THOUGHT!

The only time I am away is if I am asleep, which is where I should be now...yes I did have a little search for another 'one'....can't help it!!!

And dirty keys? UGH!

Till morning then,

Nina

Dirty keys were the least of it, - it's the accummulation of the Guid Lord kens whit gunge underneath the keys that should be approached carefully and only with plastic gloves, protective glasses and a surgical mask

Hmmm, got me peering into the gloom of a black keyboard

Tell me..how do you remove the keys?...without messing the thing up completely, which is what I'm likely to do if I start messing with it

Most often, the keys can be very gently levered off, but if at first it doesn't work, then do not use force, as you may just have a keyboard where the keys can't be removed.

When I was proudly announcing to my guid lady the cleanup she dismissively commented that they do it regularly at her workplace, - apparantly you can get small containers of compressed air, which have a long thin nozzle, so the process is to invert the keyboard, insert the nozzle between and behind the keys, "stand back", and press the button for a blast of compressed air.

I do put the vacuum cleaner over it...occasionally.
Daughter did that once and sucked up one of the keys..she never did get it to go back right

Think I might forego the joys of prising off keys...if it jams get a new one...good principle to go by in my book, being a bit technically challenged.
