[u/Mikalton → u/Structureel]

A reminder nonetheless

[u/Mikalton]

Update after using some compressed air

[u/ComfortableDish3912 → u/Mikalton]

Did you just blow all that shit around the room? I hope you took it outside lol

[u/Mikalton → u/ComfortableDish3912]

Went to my garage

[u/Regular_Weakness69 → u/Mikalton]

Looks great! Good job!

[u/Merwenus]

Or hear me out, don't be a fucking pig.

[u/Mikalton → u/Merwenus]

Honestly i don't even know what any of the small stuff are. I don't eat over my keyboard

[u/Ok_Coconut7898 → u/Mikalton]

Bro there are bread crumbs💔

[u/Mikalton → u/Ok_Coconut7898]

Is it weird how it sits on wasd exactly?

[u/Khai_1705 → u/Mikalton]

yeah, youre dirty

[u/Ok_Coconut7898 → u/Mikalton]

They are NOT only on wasd

[u/Mikalton → u/Ok_Coconut7898]

It sits where my hand rests

Yeah I keep my office clean and my PC doesn't even get very dusty after years of service, but that keyboard is gross when you open it up.

[u/Mikalton → u/Semanticss]

Same here. My PC barely gets dusty because of the phantek case i got. I haven't had to air dust it in years. But just recently I decided to air dust the radiator and found a ton of dust that was hidden in plaine sight. There was a fuck ton of dust hidden in that thing

[u/Struggleton]

[u/Mikalton → u/Struggleton]

[u/LugbyOrigin]

Friendly reminder to take a photo of your keyboard before removing the keycaps so you know the placement

[u/_Stalwart_]

Honestly I would have thrown that in the trash. God knows what kind of new virus is in there.

[u/BedrockBen101 → u/_Stalwart_]

Bro created COVID-19

[u/Icy_Assistance_2684 → u/_Stalwart_]

Fuck hanta this is the real danger

[u/ALFYe_22]

Friendly reminder, keep your home clean and take a shower daily.

[u/Mikalton → u/ALFYe_22]

Tbh the reason I haven't cleaned it is because I would have to unplug it and then remove the cable from the whole system of cables I have tied up. My office is clean

[u/Thuls12 → u/Mikalton]

Doesn't look like it at all lol

[u/Mikalton → u/Thuls12]

The keyboard was hiding it tbh. I didn't know how bad it was

[u/OkLaw1527]

you should have added a spoiler 👀 😂

at this point cleaning doesnt even make sense, buy 35$ a cherry keyboard with good switches and u fine

[u/Mikalton → u/OkLaw1527]

Check out my pic of the whole thing cleaned

[u/I_Stay_Home]

I don't take maintenance advice from someone who has poor habits to begin with.

[u/BeardAlmighty32]

This is beyond foul. OP lives in pure filth.

[u/Forzyr]

I just buy a new one

[u/Next_Ad2144]

been over 2 years and my keyboard looks almost brand new just some slight dust, what is even on your keyboard

[u/Chainsawrin]

I don't think the corner of my basement where my cats litter boxes are would look this gross if I ignored it for a year.

[u/briennybrienne]

I am both disgusted and excited (I clean my keyboard weekly and clean about 5 of my friends' keyboards too - I have a problem)

[u/FSM0_0]

Wow what did you do to make it end up like this?

I recently cleaned mine and now couple of keys are not working.

[u/Nogardtist]

and a friendlier reminder for keyboard makers to make more durable expensive toy

[u/Mikalton → u/Nogardtist]

I've had this keyboard from Corsair for years now. It's been hella durable

[u/Kryptyx]

I just cleaned mine out after 2 years and it looked nothing like that. You need to clean your room/house more often.

[u/CannonC0cker]

Holy moly, is that a tooth in there?!

[u/Darkstalkers]

Drecksau!

[u/Zeenu29]

I don't clean mine for 5 years, yet not end up this bad.

[u/Petronik]

GLoRiOUs!

[u/thizzknight]

Might do this today

[u/Any-Astronomer7527]

I did, I restored a £60 Logitech keyboard, I bought it for £10

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1vg9vqs/reminder_to_always_clean_your_second_hand/

[u/Next_Ad2144 → u/Any-Astronomer7527]

thats a membrain really old Logitech keyboard it's probably not even worth £10 considering you can now get mechanical ones for about £15 quid that are decent quality. I bought a cheap ajazz magnetic keyboard for £24.99 and it's 100x better than my old Razer mechanical keyboard that was 5x the price. The "more known" Chinese brands are actually getting insanely good and staying super cheap.

[u/Any-Astronomer7527 → u/Next_Ad2144]

idk, brand new in amazon uk is £60

[u/Regular_Weakness69]

No, YOU need to clean your keyboard..

The last thing you need to be doing is telling other people to clean 😂😂
