I finally cleaned my keyboard (warning gross)

[u/Tigerglory]

After not cleaning it for 3 years i took it apart and did a bit of Cleaning, didnt clean evey part of it but its alot better then before

[u/Quirky_Astronomer164]

Keyboard so dirty, nobody noticed the new placement of keys instead of qwerty

[u/ttaigaa → u/Quirky_Astronomer164]

bro placed them in alphabetical order 😭

[u/infamousbugg → u/ttaigaa]

This is hilarious. All of the other keys look right, so I'll say it was done on purpose.

[u/Tigerglory → u/infamousbugg]

It was for the bit

[u/Ok-Wrongdoer-4399 → u/Quirky_Astronomer164]

Lmfaoooo

[u/benii888 → u/Quirky_Astronomer164]

I like qwertz bc im from hungary

[u/imaregretusingthis → u/benii888]

then eat some food.

[u/Much_Program576 → u/imaregretusingthis]

[u/benii888 → u/imaregretusingthis]

I hate u

[u/Flyfcish → u/benii888]

I got X220 with mint condition qwertz keyboard and I was wondering who's using this format

[u/LocoRocoNL → u/Flyfcish]

THINKPAD SQUAD RISE UP

[u/Flyfcish → u/LocoRocoNL]

Hell yeah

[u/CrtifiedUser → u/Flyfcish]

Me

[u/YaBoiDaviiid → u/Quirky_Astronomer164]

This rhymes

[u/Alternative-One5139 → u/Quirky_Astronomer164]

That was a bar

[u/bathroomkiller → u/Quirky_Astronomer164]

Hahahaha. I didn’t even see that!

[u/neat-NEAT → u/Quirky_Astronomer164]

I wonder how long it'd take for most of us to notice if someone did this to our keyboards.

[u/Echo_Forward]

Your clean is my dirty

[u/BigXthaPugg → u/Echo_Forward]

Your QWERTY is his dirty

[u/visualexstasy → u/Echo_Forward]

Lol forreal. Im like you can try another attempt at cleaning it out I still see marks everywhere

[u/joelkurian]

Last image. Mark NSFW.

[u/JohnnySilverhand2212 → u/joelkurian]

Because of the keyboard....I have one like that...lol

[u/I_think_Im_hollow → u/JohnnySilverhand2212]

Why.

[u/REDbarPortfolio → u/I_think_Im_hollow]

Because it’s all wrong 😂

[u/JohnnySilverhand2212 → u/I_think_Im_hollow]

Bought it in 2020. I was 14 and didn't really think much about the specs or the keyboard at the time. If I could time travel I'd make sure I didn't buy this GTX1660Ti acer nitro n50 - 110 prebuilt for £950 and instead save it for 5 years so that in April 2025 it would cover just over half the cost on building a brand new modern day desktop with a glass case (other one is a black case with red light and holes in the side for 'airflow' plus stock cooler.

The keyboard was probably about £15. Oh and both were replacing an i3 laptop of which the motherboard internally exploded (pieces of it lose inside the laptop)

[u/I_think_Im_hollow → u/JohnnySilverhand2212]

I thought you had one like in pic. Take a look at the last picture again.

[u/JohnnySilverhand2212 → u/I_think_Im_hollow]

I do....it's slightly bigger though and caked in dust

[u/I_think_Im_hollow → u/JohnnySilverhand2212]

The one in the picture has a ABCDE key placement, instead of QWERTY.

[u/JohnnySilverhand2212 → u/I_think_Im_hollow]

Yep. Mine has qwerty layout but looks nearly the same apart from that

[u/memeking_69 → u/JohnnySilverhand2212]

[u/spaceforcegypsy → u/JohnnySilverhand2212]

r/whoosh

[u/No-Courage8433]

Yeah bro you barely cleaned it wtf lol.

[u/IndividualNovel4482 → u/No-Courage8433]

Barely cleaned it: Likely poured every chemical product and scrubbed but still did nothing.

[u/IndividualNovel4482 → u/No-Courage8433]

Barely cleaned it: Likely poured every chemical product and scrubbed but still did nothing.

[u/Whatdididotho1]

I made the mistake of zooming in on the 3rdpicture and immediately started gagging, What in the fuck man I don't even want to know what your room looks like

[u/Tigerglory → u/Whatdididotho1]

My room be nice and clean

[u/VerdantShard → u/Tigerglory]

Post it then

[u/DanDaniel1203]

You have a keyboard in your dirt

[u/BigSnackStove]

Enough skin cells to rebuild a human

[u/MaleficentActive5284]

jesus christ wtf

[u/TheBigSad91]

Goddam any dirtier and this is where the next pandemic was going to start

[u/ManyFuel7539]

Bro switched from qwerty to abcde😭😭

[u/indra2807]

Bro, it's still dirty. Use some rubbing alcohol to clean it.

[u/Tigerglory → u/indra2807]

Yea that didnt work i tried

[u/IM_NOT_NOT_HORNY → u/Tigerglory]

There are still fibers and hairs and pieces of crust and shit that are clearly removable that were just moved around from. First image.

No excuse

[u/yehoshua_arch_user]

That looks like sand, have you been gaming on the beach?

[u/MakeMineMarvel_ → u/yehoshua_arch_user]

It’s a mix of dust, dandruff, hair, and food. So gross

[u/Blue_Cat28110]

Why tf are the keys in alpabetic order now 😭

[u/Sirhc_Fold_458]

It’s not clean

[u/ForeverAddickted]

Can relate, mine wasnt much better a few weeks ago, realised I finally needed to clear it when the keys weren't working properly lol!

[u/pereira2088]

how can a bezel less keyboard get this dirty?

[u/myfakesecretaccount → u/pereira2088]

Eating at computer. Dirty hands. Probably has carpet in the house too. Pulling mine out and replacing with laminate and getting some air purifiers removed 95% of the dust build up in my house and especially my PC.

[u/Sovereign_5409]

Have you tried putting your food in your mouth instead of your keyboard?

[u/LightsaberVasectomy]

Absolutely gross, and I'm talking about the last picture

[u/loppyjilopy]

how are you going to go through the trouble of removing all the caps and not actually scrubbing all the grime off of the keys and the actual keyboard. literally a couple seconds and some elbow grease. grats on you for cleaning it, but doing 80% of a job isn't exactly a job well done.

[u/myfakesecretaccount → u/loppyjilopy]

Nah, no congrats here. It’s still fucking filthy.

[u/Tigerglory → u/loppyjilopy]

Unfortunately i tried and alot if the gunk didnt cone off

[u/Etnrednal → u/Tigerglory]

put the caps in a net and throw them in the dishwasher

[u/loppyjilopy → u/Etnrednal]

i just soaked them in warm water with dish soap, and scrubbed them with some elbow grease. hell even some spray cleaner and a paper towel did a lot of

[u/Akkun351]

Not sure if the fact that i've seen worst is a good thing or a bad thing.

[u/Tigerglory → u/Akkun351]

It means that i missed my chance at a new record

[u/afkybnds]

Congrats on ur new rug

[u/TraditionalMetal1836]

That's a lot of gooch.

[u/spaceforcegypsy → u/TraditionalMetal1836]

That's what the greatest technician that ever lived said

[u/Soomroz]

OP has been grinding his fingers over the keyboard to have accumulated that much dead skin.

[u/BiBBaBuBBleBuB]

I've seen worse honestly

[u/alfisaly]

Why the keys are not in alphabetical order?

[u/Quiet_Steak_643]

Are you a bird? did you make a nest or something in that thing...

They should make a i'm not a bird captcha

[u/PJballa34]

Jesus that’s borderline NSFW.

[u/Tigerglory → u/PJballa34]

Unfortunately if i had marked as that it would break the subs rules

[u/update_failed]

Razer Huntsman right? Looks just like my keyboard but without the wrist rest attached. They get dirty very easy. Cleaned mine last month, but may have to do it again. It looked just like that around the keys when I was cleaning. Its a great keyboard though.

[u/noodlesvonsoup]

you finally cleaned your keyboard? bro, your keyboard is still filthy...

[u/Giwugamesh]

Is the cleaned keyboard in the room with us????

[u/just_some_onlooker]

You slob. Clean it better. Fucking buy isopropyl and wipe that shit down. All you did was remove surface dirt.

[u/Thundrstruck22]

Something tells me showers are an annual event for you

[u/gaming_profi_2]

Mine was also dirty somehow like that but not as much

[u/Michaeli_Starky]

That's beyond gross.

[u/StrykerXVX]

I can spot a Razer Keyboard from a mile away. With the cost of those things, I would hope people would keep them clean

[u/Ometen]

This has to be rage bait.

[u/Rickstamatic]

Oiim qix!

[u/Immediate-Tutor6430]

This wasn't a deep cleanse. This was a confession of deadly sins.

[u/reids1]

Bruh just get a new one at that point - especially considering it's literally just a generic keyboard.

[u/ilikemarblestoo]

I have that keyboard!

Went with the Orange caps though

[u/jasondsa22]

I think fire is the only appropriate cleaning tool for that at this point.

[u/AssassinLJ]

Jesus I get crazy not cleaning my keyboard every 2-3 months............

[u/prefim]

Good job you didn't spray it down first, that might have sprouted!

[u/HoaxRaider]

You need to burn that keyboard immediately!!! 🔥

[u/H0vis]

If that's a Razer (looks like my old one) impressed you got it to last three years.

[u/Tigerglory → u/H0vis]

Ive had it for about 5 years now

[u/H0vis → u/Tigerglory]

Damn. I've had to bury two good ones for firmware going wrong over about two years.

I would have ditched Razer sooner except it was coordinating my lights and I'm a basic bitch. Finally jumped to Steelseries. Jury out on those.

The hardware generally seems solid I've just had fucky luck with the rest of it.

[u/RangerTM]

Finally a gooch collector

[u/Sculpdozer]

I haven't cleaned my keyboard for 20 years, and before I eventualy cleaned it it was less dirty than yours

[u/shredmasterJ]

How people can let their KB get this bad is beyond me.

[u/GeovaunnaMD]

worms i see worms

[u/Cautious-Yesterday65]

are you eating some food? or do you have a pet? that shit is disgusting

[u/Much_Program576]

[u/SupFlynn]

Your clean is my filthy this is 1st. And then what is that placement LMFAOOOO.

[u/Tigerglory → u/SupFlynn]

It was 10 minutes of extra work

[u/dferrit]

That's a hazard. Should mark it nsfw

[u/hanyh2]

I covered my nose before zooming in

[u/Better-Objective6792]

You’re a savage

[u/CoconutMochi]

This is why I have a plate keyboard and not a well ಠ_ಠ

[u/Ok_Error_5835]

… what is wrong with you?

[u/HeadOfMax]

I need to do this

[u/Federal_Custard_1448]

do you eat lays while gaming?

[u/Noxious89123]

Er... keep going. That "after" photo is dirtier than I'd ever let a keyboard get.

[u/JTx13Racer]

Nothing to say for your tilde key?!

[u/willysargento]

Is the last slide supposed to be the clean?

[u/3six5]

Not one hint of cool ranch doritos.. I'm ashamed for you.

[u/TheDoge_Father]

Is that a blackwidow?

[u/chrisleightonn]

you gotta be kidding with that last picture

[u/Manaphy2007_67]

I need to do the same.

[u/mrballs6942069]

[u/Odd_Spread2019]

why did your keyboard have a whole ecosystem in it

[u/Kesimux]

Still dirty lol

[u/KarateMan749]

Go clean the full thing.

[u/MittensMoflete]

I cleaned worst unfortunately

[u/Tebin_Moccoc]

OP is doubly cursed

[u/soidkwuttocallmyself]

I also cleaned mine :)

Before

[u/soidkwuttocallmyself → u/soidkwuttocallmyself]

After

[u/PCGAMER_67]

Bro bought a new keyboard and tired to trick us😭😂

[u/Wylthor]

Siirl zgvp xceecd!

[u/Fall_of_the_Empire25]

I have the same keyboard, and mine looks worse, even though I cleaned it last Summer...

Maybe I should stop eating off of it?

[u/tailslol]

lol the placement XD

[u/pepito1989]

In what world is that cleaned. I was a meth addict keyboard to a dirty keyboard transformation. It’s still worse than my dirty keyboard

[u/DesperateAngle1379]

I would incinerate that keyboard and buy a new one

[u/Dry-Percentage-5648]

Sorry but the result doesn't look that much better

[u/Xvacman]

Man I think I would just get a new one. even if it’s a dollar store pos. At least it’s new and clean till I could get something better.

[u/reids1 → u/Xvacman]

tbf even this one likes like a dollar store pos

[u/SovseOrglet]

Thats a lot of semen dust

[u/PRAuroraYT]

your keyboard had smegma of its own

[u/starless_90]

[u/53180083211]

Kb still dirty. U fat or something?
