I've neglected it for 2-3 years and finally, after being bored enough, I'm cleaning my keyboard.
(I don't know why there's so much hair in there though lol. I have a cat, but she likes to sleep on my chair and not on my keyboard.)
I use to have to dismantle my old Logitech MX5000 keyboard to do that, the first time I managed that was some 15 years after I got it, but it was a blast to clean it!

Here I thought that an ad for a kb cleaner was greatly exaggerating the amount of filth you can get into your keyboard, but man I think it was your keyboard!

Nope, chuck testa. I’m waiting until mine’s too crusty to use, then I’ll just replace it

Threw mine in the dishwasher last week. Good as new.
Disassembled only plastic parts ofc.

Splash proof keyboards are the worst for gunk build up

Alright folks… I use an “air purifier” in my computer room, and after 4 years of daily use, my keyboard still does not look like this.
I highly recommend it, also significantly reduces dust within the PC as well.

As a keyboard snob, this hurts me.
I bought [this washable keyboard from Logitech ](https://ir.logitech.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2012/Logitech-Unveils-Washable-Ultra-Durable-Keyboard/default.aspx) years ago to deal with this and it’s great. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles of a gaming keyboard but it does what I need it to. I’m not sure they sell it anymore unfortunately.
