Considering your computer keyboard harbors more germs than a toilet seat, how do you keep your keyboard spotless? I don't know about you, but my keys are covered with remnants of all sorts of things - lunch, tea, cookie crumbs... you name it, it's on there. Usually what I do is give it a quick wipe or take the compressed air can to it and this will do the trick.
According to NPR a company called Seal Shield is advertising $50 keyboards which they claim are dishwasher safe. Although companies like Microsoft and Logitech dis-approve with this method, when blogger Scott Moschella put his keyboard in the dishwasher, it surprisingly still worked (after a week of being air dried) and came out clean as a whistle. After short-circuiting a keyboard with only a few tablespoons of water, I say Moschella was just lucky. So if you really want to get wet n' wild with your keyboard, I suggest purchasing one of the Seal Shield keyboards.

1Hmm. I just wipe mine down with Lysol!
2I use Clorox wipes and an compressed air on mine.
3That's actually pretty cool! I might consider buying something liek that if I had money, but I'm more opt to buy the G5 keyboard than the dishwasher safe keyboard. I just use the electronic wipes and compressed air for mine, and get the hard to get crumbs and whatnot with tweezers.
4ack, so many things to buy. but its true, the keyboard is just crawling with germs. ewww.
5i just use the compressed air and a dry cloth for mine. i sorta dont want to think about all of the stuff on my computer keyboard.
