This is my fave board. However, like a numbskull I spill something on a board about once a month- beer or gatorade or something sticky which often requires intervention. The keycaps and case need to be cleaned, the PCB cleaned, and sometimes a few switches replaced. Well this board has one screw so it's not "tooless." There is then a bezel for the case with a series of tabs which can be popped with a small slotted screwdriver and assisted with a credit card or library card. I'm not sure of the advantage of this design but I'm sure there's a reason for it.
Well this liquid got in the space of the bezel of the case and it was like glue and I nearly had to break it off. A little alcohol softened it up enough to finally get it off. So I guess the moral is don't spill anything on it, although I'm sure opening this is second nature for the people who like to mod it.
