I bought a MY-7000 for the keycaps. When I pulled the caps underneath was hardened icing, bits of hard candy, and dust. Apparently the previous owner had a sweet tooth.

Typically when I clean out an old, dirty keyboard, I find things like bits of decomposing food, lots of lint/hair/dust, and one or more rusty paperclips.
I also discover many switches hiding under my keys. Sometimes they are blue, other times they're brown or black, and SOMETIMES there's just a big ol' spring there. Not quite sure what their function is, but I'll get back to you when I find out more about it... #sarcasm

I remember when I used the family PC when I didn't have my own, which included keyboards that weren't mine, I did not give a ****. There'd mostly be a bunch of dried yoghurt, milk and noodle-water, salt and crumbs. And that changed when Vun bought me my first keyboard. That **** remained PRISTINE.

Didn't someone recently get a cherry board that was used at a hair salon?

Probably looked like my board before I cleaned it...
HAIR and DUST STUFF

My kishsaver had a spiders nest under/inside a shift key(spiders all gone luckily).

I bought a Dell AT101W from a cat owner. Didn't know the seller owned a cat until I started pulling caps. YIKES!

I have a few keyboards that were recovered from garbage dumps. A few of them have had quite a bit of soil in them, while others have been pristine. Never paid more than a Euro (equivalent) for any.

My M-122 was disguisting
When it came out, it smelled like ****. Caps were greasy af.
I took of the case and was greeted by dust and a dead bug under the winkeyless part. Panicked and took a vacuum to it.
I tried to vacuum up the hair and dust but it didn't work :'(
Ended up hand cleaning the whole thing with wet tissues. Each tissue was good for one pass then it was all gunked up.
I hate used boards, especially those used for 20+ years :'(

But I was really careful in making sure nothing dirty touched my fingers

Fohat should have lots of stories. I'm just waiting for him to show up and talk about finding dead baby rats in his Model F or something.
