Not quite sure what it smells like, but a mix of human and plastic I guess.
Now, the underside of the Filco wrist rest on the other hand...

It is weird. The first time I smelled my (Dolch/Cherry G80-1800) keyboard, I was instantly reminded of the smell of the IBM XTs that I used in my first computer class back in '91. I suppose that the smell comes from circuit boards and plastic.

Another keyboard I have (bought from another Geekhacker a month ago) still smells like some kind of perfume. Some kind of over-perfumed dish washing liquid he used to clean it, I suppose. I may have to disassemble it and clean it again, just to get the smell out. I am over-sensitive to perfume -- in the worst case, I get migraine.

MW poll time, eh?

Seriously, who sniffs on their keyboards? In any case, once it starts smelling (a) noticeably and (b) of anything else than usual-stuff-landing-in-keyboards (hair, lint, dandruff), there may be reason for concern.

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

Thanks for saying what needs to be said.

Although, as ridiculous as it was/is...we still jumped in with both feet.

I feel tainted.

I'm surprised I haven't yet seen "What does your floor taste like?" or "Who here has typed using their penis?"

Dunno about my floors, but my penis typed "I throw up on MW polls".

I think you might need some therapy if your penis "throws up" when you read my polls.

That was good.

However there is NO truth to the rumor you can get pregnant from a keyboard.

Mine smells like lactating breast. What went wrong?

If you live in AZ you can try my keyboards. I usually keep plenty of different ALPS and MX and buckling springs.
