Sticky weather, sticky hands, sticky keyboard -- aka: yuck
« on: Mon, 10 June 2013, 09:39:18 »
Sticky weather.  One of my pet peeves when it comes to typing on a daily basis.

Aside from the obvious treatments of the air: air purifier, air dehumidifier -- What do other GHers use to keep your hands dry when nature refuses to allow you?  I do the usual Purell hand sanitizer, but aside from that I don't have any other tricks.

Thoughts?

Assuming you are referring to sweaty hands, what about a small fan blowing across the keyboard?

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I have one of these sitting on my desk and point it where I need it.

it doesn't matter if you get good airflow when the humidity makes it such that your sweat does not efficiently evaporate.
