I believe the sub rules call for specs, not specks

I mean if you really want white keys to stay white you have to have a no food at the pc rule or clean them 4 times a week.

Or just not be a disgusting animal, I have had a white keyboard with white keycaps for months and nothing on them. This is just being gross

Depends on where you live. My white adam is on the wall and gets visibly dusty within four days. Add the tiniest amount of oils and sweat from your hands to that and it gets grimey.

I'm currently looking at air purifiers.

We do have that rule but it didn’t seem to be effective

If you want to help it try teaching him what it could do to the keyboard and make sure he understands as well, and try to go easy on the little buddy he didn’t know

Does this count as natural switch lubrication? Artisanal organic custom keycap mod? Work with me here, the guy's obviously trying!

OTOH, an easily disassembled keeb is easily cleaned, I smell a learning opportunity here.

a learning opportunity is probably not all you'll smell

Ick. What do you people do over your keyboards.

There's nothing over mine except empty hands!

My membrane used to be like this. When i moved to mechanical, I actually had to take care of it

this is probably not recommended for premium expensive keycaps but i wash mine in a dishwasher on lower temp eco-mode together with all the dishes in a closed plastic cage thingy. works like a charm

Just putting them in a bowl with warm water and dish soap, letting them soak for 15 minutes with occasional stirring, and letting them dry on a dish towel also works fine. Just in case whoever reads this has no dishwasher.

That second method not only works out for those without dishwasher, but it would be possible to do it with more expensive keycaps given that you make sure to not make the water absurdly hot.

Don't forget to indeed let them dry! I usually spread them out on a tea towel overnight.

Good god that's a horror story right there.

Imagine how gross it'd be if you'd shown UV light on it. Wash the keycaps with a mild chlorine solution.
