Title: Sticky weather, sticky hands, sticky keyboard -- aka: yuck
Post by: Trent on Mon, 10 June 2013, 09:39:18

Sticky weather.  One of my pet peeves when it comes to typing on a daily basis.

Aside from the obvious treatments of the air: air purifier, air dehumidifier -- What do other GHers use to keep your hands dry when nature refuses to allow you?  I do the usual Purell hand sanitizer, but aside from that I don't have any other tricks.

Thoughts?

I hand sanatize as well, apart from that, just wipe your hands periodicaly.

Assuming you are referring to sweaty hands, what about a small fan blowing across the keyboard?

it doesn't matter if you get good airflow when the humidity makes it such that your sweat does not efficiently evaporate.
