I spilled a bowl of rice crispies and milk onto my ergonomic keyboard this morning. I’m using an old one, so it’s painfully slow. Blogging will be minimal until the new one comes tomorrow.

If you can use a screwdriver, and if you can find the screws that hold the keyboard shell closed (often hidden under the “feet”/pads), you can remove and wash the plastic shell, and gently wash the electronics and key assembly with dilute dish soap and water, and then set in a warm well-ventilated place to dry for two days before re-assembling. Often works.
I’ve tried several times without success, because I’m cheap that way. Now I give up earlier, saves me the effort.
You have _repeatedly_ spilt your Rice Krispies and milk into your keyboard ?
When a pattern like that shows up , it may well be an emerging, mutation-induced super-power. Now all we need to do is to book you for a year of breakfasts at the keyboards of America’s enemies, and our future is secure.
I’ll have Professor X look into it.
No, the previous times, it was usually a cup of tea or glass of milk.
So people actually eating and drinking at their keyboards and destroying their equipment in the process isn’t an urban myth after all? Who knew?
I’m a klutz; that’s how I know about keyboard-washing.
So I keep liquids just out of arm’s reach, most of the time, where my flailing can’t quite reach them.
I mostly do. But if I’m multitasking, the risk is higher.
