    Default Ha4te My Keyb4oard Right Now4

    I think my 4 button (not the numeric keypad one) is sticking or something. Every once in awhile when I finish typing something, a four just magically appears at the end...and while typing this the 6 button acted up as well. I don't know what the problem is...I mean it must be sticking, but it appears to be fine...

    Also I'm using a laptop so I don't know if the keys can be pried off like a normal normal keyboard...I'm afraid to try and find out. It's funny, because I hardly ever need to use the 4 or 6 button...I don't use them in any of my passwords or anything...

    food, there was an instance with glue that causes my main enter key to stick every now and then, and just general dumbness. I need a new keyboard ;_;

    I once spilled a glass full of water on one and shorted it out. The plastic sheets inside were all wet and some stuff was kinda black xD

    occasionally when I'm cleaning my keyboard, I'll pop the keys out and won't put the right windows key and right alt keys back in the right spots. fun times 8)

    One of my friends and I used to switch the N and M keys on the Career Investigation class's 46keyboard. 4It was pretty funny because4 they didn't know how to type. Another friend tells me the kids get suspended for that there now...

    (I've totally given up on deleting the 44s and 6s..4.)

    i've pulled the left arrow key off of my laptop keyboard, i think because i use the arrow keys to scroll web pages and i get bored so i play with it. but i can't anymore. i'm guessing the up arrow key will be next.

    Ever since the beginning of sixth grade, I have personally gone through seven different keyboards. They all screwed up because I spilled soda on them. Even on my current one, the right Alt no longer works (but not because of soda, this time).

    i killed one right after we bought it. i mean it was like two hours after we bought it and i go and dump 24 oz of dr pepper on it.
    so if your boards acting up you should take a video of you smashing it then go to walmart and get anew one.
    I like chocolate!! No matter what flavor you get, you can always taste the broken dreams!

    I've never had a problem with my keyboard and I've had it for over three years. However, I did rip out my CapsLock key sometime last year, or two years ago. I don't recall. All I know is that it's still trapped under a cup on the old desk.

    I spilled beer/coke on my old laptop, it did not like that, at all, it survived the beer, but not the coke, well it did survive, it just took an extended period of time to recover. As it is the keys are a bit stiff to press down, and sometimes stick, and the touch pad no longer turns off.

    There was this traumatic period of time in my life when my best friend broke my A key, and I couldn't use it. A is an important alphabet. So I had to copy & paste all my a's.

    MY WRITING USED TO LOOK LIKE THIS.

    .....aaaaaaaaaaaand that sentence doesn't have a single A xD

    But yeah. I did all my IGCSE coursework copy/pasting a's, so I'm quite proud of myself
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    You could try getting some compressed air and blow it clean :p. I think it's hard to pry off keys on a laptop keyboard without damaging them, not that I've tried it.
