Its only 5 bucks and covered by amazon prime...so i couldn't NOT buy it for no reason =P

Seems like a nifty little tool, anyone tried it yet?

I also ordered:

For my logitech g500 mouse. The replacement mouse feet cost 2 dollars each, and logitech charges you 6 bucks shipping...so i figured rather get these instead. G500 has 3 mouse feet, this is a pack of 20, so this should last for 6x and more replacements, nice deal for any mouse I think. You need these if you use a hard plastic gaming mousepad...like the Razer Scarab that I use at the moment.

It seems that it's just for cleaning the caps. Are the little prongs long enough to each around a full height key cap? They don't look like it, at least not to me. And the pictures are all of those stupid low profile things.

I think I would still rather pull them all and just use denture cleaner. Or the dishwasher, if that's more your speed.

Can you clean my keyth as well while you are at it?


I usually blow it with a shopvac then scrub with an old tooth brush using Isopropyl alcohol gel (cheap!) like a tooth paste
