Operation: Clean Fingers

This is my good ol' trusty A4 TECH keyboard I bought in 2003. Thank God, it has been functioning ever since. It's a good keyboard with only one minor flaw, it has no LEDs for the Caps and Num locks.

Throughout the years I cleaned this keyboard several times. It's a painful and tedious process in which I must use a piece of cloth and glass cleaner to clean individual keys! So, I didn't do it too often.

I left this keyboard for almost 8 months or so without cleaning and this was the result... Behold...


You will notice that the W, A, S, D and E keys were clean. These are the keys used for games mostly. You will also find part of Tab, Lt. Shift, Lt. Ctrl, Lt. Alt, the Space bar and a small area of Enter to be clean, because these are the keys most often used. Oh, and I forgot to mention the Esc key.

After criticism from my family and friends, I decided that this must be cleaned immediately. And this was the result...

When my sister saw the clean keyboard, she asked me if I had bought a new one!

Mission Accomplished!
