ITT: people I'm never buying a keyboard off haha
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Nothing because I don't eat/drink/jerk off near my desk because keyboards are holy

Pac how the **** did you spill hot sauce on your ****ing keyboard :))

You'd make a good Republican although there's only one god and I'm pretty sure he isn't a keyboard.
And the  angels had keyboards even before they had wings.

Fountain pen ink. J. Herbin Vert Empire to be exact.

I was refilling a pen and accidentally dropped a pen nib down on my SSK. Drew some green lines on it. I managed to clean it all up (hooray for water based inks!) but for a moment I just facepalmed.
What brand and model of pen?
Did the nib survive?
Hope it wasn't Private Reserve ink.  That stuff will stain like the ****ens.

I notice there are not any messages in the thread from "he who must not be named".  Though I thought I remembered some.

Am I the only one who has never spilled liquids on a keyboard? I have been using computers since Christmas '88 when I got my first as a kid, longer than some of you have been alive.
I drink coffee and other beverages next to my computer all the time, but I usually place the coffee cup on the other side of the mouse pad.

Murphy's law. Of course, it's not saying that it will happen to everyone, but once liquids are introduced to an area with a keyboard, someone somewhere will spill it.

Many years ago I woke up with a glass of orange Juice and Vodka in my keyboard.

I worked at a repair shop, and the worst thing I ever saw spilled on a keyboard was urine.

Urine is actually very sterile, but its acidity and yellow, that it ate through the keyboard membrane and started to seep on to the PCB.

Nothing grosses me out though. I've seen semen, blood, urine, beer, puss, spit, bile, vomit on keyboards before. I just usually grade it by how bad it ruins the keyboard.

The worst thing I ever got in the shop, though was cockroach filled XBOXs and PS3s. Those were the ****ing worst. ****ing trash from Baltimore City coming to the county wanting their garbage fixed, and they bring that trash with them.

I usually take them out back and fire bomb the unit, then if they want it back, they have to pay the extermination fee, which is $200 + the cost of the materials I had to use for the fire bomb + the cost of proper disposal of a Biohazard + HAZMAT removal of the firebomb. Which totals around somewhere near $540. They usually say no and just never come back.

Lol, this thread is making me second guess buying a used board from the class fields. Now I know why EK has their "unsanitary" policy on returns, lol.

Most disgusting thing I've dropped on my board would probably be tomatoe sauce. I was eating a bowl of pasta and one missed my mouth and fell on the board. I'm pretty OCD about my boards, so I had to remove all the caps and do a full cleaning with a toothbrush and q-tips.
