Don't eat above your keyboard

My keyboard currently lacks space in which food might fall. I am afraid, however, check under the keys of my laptop... >_>

My laptop has hair under the keyboard. D:

Keyboards 'dirtier than a toilet'

I try to clean out my keyboard every couple of months or so. I was quite disgusted reading that news article; I never realised they were so bad.

Yes. My keyboard's always wonderfully clean! :D

I just held my keyboard upside down and shook it. Never again ;_;

i spilled stew on my. so it smelled tasty for about a month.
i popped off the keys for the numpad and cleaned with alcohol and toothpicks
i havnt hit the main typing area yet

I wouldn't dare.

The things that've been on it are already questionable.

But the germs of the people who use it?

I'd probably get herpes, a common cold, and a simple rash, all at the same time.

The germs in a toilet are a lot more deadly than the ones on a keyboard though.

Anyway.... yeah I'm sure I heard growling noises coming from under the keys...

I'm ultra careful eating at the computer but somehow all sorts of foody crap still manages to get in there!

Seen worse though. My mother's a messy eater... her keyboard is visibly caked up and gooey as is the desk, the mouse (complete with annoying sticky buttons), the top of the computer, everything... yak.
