Ok, i thought i would do this little worklog for a laugh. Sorry if its in the wrong place, but didnt quite know where to put it!
Now on to business. I think i quite possibly hold the title for most disgusting keyboard ever, or at least i did, up until about 10 minutes ago....
It begins!
Say hello (or "oh god thats hideous") to my keyboard! i forgot to get a shot before i started taking it apart, but oh well.

Now you may be saying "wtf? why bother cleaning that peice of junk? just get a new one" and to that i say STFU. Then i educate you with the information that this is infact the greatest keyboard on the planet. I love it.
It came with my dads first computer, a 386, well over 10 years ago. I have used it ever since and have never found a keyboard that feels as nice in those years. I cant game on anything else.
I have had to fix it a few times over the years, and had to again today, and i just decided i had enough of it being a health hazard. so i began taking it apart.
Gotta admit i was quite amazed at how much of my beard was in it....

Now i was pointed in the direction of something called a "hoover". I had never encountered one of these contraptions before, so was quite confused by it at first.

But i love technology, and always love to get my hands on new fangled gadgets, so i decided to fire it up and get to grips with it.

Didnt go too well.
After a short recovery period and a mild panic attack, i finally got to grips with "hooving"

It barely dented the grime.
Time for plan B.

I started scraping the particularly nasty areas with small wooden impliments, and then went at it with a toothbrush and some stuff in an orange bottle that im not quite sure of what it was.

This seemed to work wonders, and after a short time scrubbing and rinsing, the chassis was reasonably clean.

On to the keys!
I put the keys in a small bowl, with some water and intense orange bottle unknown liquid stuff, and pretty much left them to fight it out.
The intense orange bottle unknown liquid came out the clear victor, utterly annihillating the grime. Sweet.

I left the keys to dry and had a quick spot of lunch. Although i dont know how i managed to eat after seeing the state of that keyboard.

When it was dry, i put it all back together and marvelled at my work.

Damn look at how clean it is, you could eat your lunch off that thing!

So there you have it, the veil of filth vanquished, me and my amazing keyboard can continue pwning n00bs without the risk of serious illness!

So remember kids, clean your keyboard regularly!
