After 8 years of flawless operation my keyboard needed a cleanup. Why i did not simply buy a new keyboard? Because good ergonomic keyboards are hard to get, and microsoft, logitech and so on are crap (i tried them all).

After i opened the casing it came to me how URGENTLY it needed to be cleaned.


Remove everything.


Im a non-smoker, i dont know why its so yellowish.


First decontaminate the upperside.


Now for each key.


After cleanup and drying... looks good.
This leaves a puzzle that took me 15 minutes to solve.


And there it is. Rise and shine!

Thought you might like to see more hardware scrubbing during a little project I did.

How do you remove the top of the keyboard? Mine is grungy and needs serious help

[ mnt | the codeninja, 28.11.07 12:05 ]
Depends on your keyboard-model. Normally you just remove all screws on the back.

Ya ya : depends where codeninja is from but Y and Z keys are maybe in the right place :)
