i try not to get that kinda stuff on the keys the keyboard rolls overtop of my lap, so it'd be pretty hard to get cum on it |
wash it, but be prepared to set it under a fan or dehumidifier for a few days.
|
depends on how bad it is. pics?

One of these days I am going to take off all of the keys and really get all the gunk (read: sperm) out.
|
i'd need it dried by thursday though, and i'm leaving on wednesday night :/
|
if you've been looking for an excuse for a new one, dirt + upcoming lan definitely works.
|
Buy a new one and is that a compaq?
|
Well then you better get started, and get it under a fan overnight. Do that and it will be fine by thursday, even with travel.

I have one of those annoying ass keyboards where you can't press more than 2 keys at the same time or else the 3rd key you press doesn't work
really ****s up trying to ski in tribes :( |
it IS a compaq, but since i bought it i've changed the mobo, cpu, OS, soundcard, and graphics card
so it's a compaq case, keyboard, and monitor |
open up the keyboard and take everything apart. pop the keys off too if you can. then give it a good cleaning. let it dry for about a few hours and that should be fine.
|
oh yeah and it's really dirty and disgusting

Take all the keys off and vacuum the loose stuff out. They should pop off fairly easily. You may need to use a small screwdriver to get the first few off but you should be able to pry them off with your fingers. Use a damp paper towel or something to get the food off the actual keys. It may take a bit more time but you'll be able to use it immediatley after you put it back together. The keyboard I'm using this second is 8 years old and still going strong thanks to a little regular maintainence.
