How Often Do You Clean Your Keyboard ?

Yep bay and thistle have made my spray me screen a few times

You're supposed to clean them????


I use the 'canned air' to blow the dust out now and then but since I'm in such a dusty/dirty environment they don't last but about a year anyway before the keys stop working - even when I WAS cleaning them weekly.

Not often enough. At this time I just need a new keyboard. I have worn the lettering off about 1/4 of the keys. Drives DH mad, he can not remember where a key is if he can not see the Letter on it!

Me too, I type with 2 fingers LOL

I kind of touch type but I like to be able to see the keys, especially when I'm going after numbers or some of the other things less used. It's real easy for me to get on the wrong home keys too.

The keyboard that came with my ASUS computer was really pretty, a designer spent a lot of time making it pretty. It was charcoal grey with dark grey markings. With a desk light shining right on it I had trouble seeing the markings, even after I cleaned my glasses. After a while I went to Walmart and got a relatively inexpensive black keyboard with white letters. I considered it money well spent.

I type with two fingers too. Although I made my kids take Mavis Beacon (SP?) typing lessons until they were proficient. I started and stopped lessons often. I'm too set in my ways and lazy to learn correctly now.

I used to practice every year with my students when we took keyboard instruction. I've had a few students type faster than me, but not many.

I do have a 'training' book if anyone is interested in learning to type properly. This is from an old school business training with a typewriter. Not only does it teach typing proficiency it teacher proper letters and business forms. Anyone who would really want to practice?

Yep, took the class WAY back with a manual typewriter. I started out fastest in the class then lost ground. Never used it for more than my own letters and now playing around on the P.C.

LOL twice I took typing classes, 1st in high school then college. I still hunt and peck.
