Title: Realforce cleaning...
Post by: therecorder on Fri, 23 August 2013, 23:40:08
Looking for information on the best (and safest) way to clean a Realforce keyboard and keycaps.  Want to use one in an area that is smoky and dusty, and would rather my White/Gray Realforce not eventually turn into a Gray/Gray one.

You can clean it the sane way as any other keyboard. There are a few guides around.

Make sure you cover it overnight or when not using it for a while.  Even an old tea towel (or a new one, depending on how much your precious) will suffice.

In my experience when it comes to any staggered qwerty style keyboard, you just throw it out, and buy an Ergodox.

An ErgoDox can get just as dusty as any other keyboard.

Yes but only an ergodox is worthy of taking the time to clean.

This looks like a great game of Twister.

It's actually 5 people trying to figure out the layout of the left side of tp4tissue's ErgoDox.

As the Thread Starter, I agree that my thread has been trolled.  tp4tissue has had an ErgoDox fixation for weeks, and has disturbed many a thread.  However, I think he isn't doing it maliciously.  That is why I joked about it in Reply #7.  Hopefully, tp4tissue will soon start refraining from ErgoDox "cheering".
