Do you use a cover?  Are there generic ones that will fit a WASD keyboard?

I use a bar towel for my model m. Perfect fit. Also handy for clearing up spills.

My Focus and Leopold have fitted covers. I do use them, but I leave the rest exposed when not stored in a box.

If they were more readily available, and at a cheaper price I would. Haven't found any reasonable options so far though.

Nope. I vacuum with a soft dusting brush tip once a week.

Funnily enough, I've just made a dust cover (well more of a bag) for my choc mini to stop the keys from going pie yellow in the sun.  Didn't take long and it was fun using the sewing machine again.

LOLOL,, sewing is underrated,, even thought it's traditionally feminine,, it's quite useful.

I prefer cardboard and tape, of course some chinese calligraphy ontop for style

I use this for my Decks: http://www.fentek-ind.com/keyboard-cover.htm

I was on the fense about getting an acrylic cover, but the cover doesn't block UV, infact overtime it'd turn yellow. I needed solid light blocking because of my white keycaps, so I went with cardboard.LOLOL

I have the hhkb acrylic cover but I never use it.  Not worth the hassle imo.

 It's not a museum piece and I use it everyday so it's going to get dirty.  I try to give it a good cleaning every 6 months or so.

Nope never used a cover, would find it annoying.  Usually give them a wipe over once a week and a proper clean whenever caps are swapped.
