    You’re supposed to clean your keyboard?

    I bought one with lights and it’s a glorious display case for my collection of dead skin, crumbs and stray pubes.

      You’re supposed to take it to the Apple store, where they will charge you $800 to “clean” the keyboard, by replacing and throwing away half the computer. This is the correct user experience. /s

      Apple hates making functional serviceable machines anymore.

    Just open up notepad, start cleaning, and then use the resulting document as a word finder puzzle. Hell, if you’re really lucky you might write the next best selling novel.

      This was incredibly confusing for me because I washed my hands after opening this post. I picked up my phone, and I read your top comment before reading the post, and then I looked at my screen and I actually had water on my screen. I was like, “Damn that is some realistic looking water!” Then I wiped it on my shirt and it disappeared and I got really confused lol

    Esterline make specialised keyboards that are specifically for sterile environments which have this feature. You press a button, the keys are ignored and you can wipe the keyboard down.

      Unplugging the keyboard requires getting down on my hands and knees, groping around to find a plug I can’t visually see, and probably dislocating my shoulder in the process.

      And then even more luck required to get the plug I can’t see back IN, trying the USB every single way blind by feel only, and neither way wants to accept it’s the right one.

      It’s an absolute last resort.

        Its odd that keyboards don’t have USB on the back of them. Every other peripheral does it seems, but they usually come hard wired.

          Yeah that’s nice stuff.

          I recently bought a mechanical keyboard with a USB C port for the connector. A cable came along with it.

          The keyboard turned out to be absolute[1] garbage and I ended up with an expensive USB C cable.


          1. ok maybe not absolute, I might be able to salvage some components ↩︎

        Not sure how long I’ve had this tool but several years at least. Nothing fancy, just toggles keyboard input temporarily so you can clean. Works for power key.

          My KDE (both 5 and 6, just checked) also uses Meta+L, by default. On my KDE 5 Ctrl+Alt+L appears as custom but I don’t remember adding it, maybe they inverted the two.

        Draw an S on there and bam! you have a Super button.

        What’s a Super button you ask? It’s the S in S-M-butterfly. Or in other words: it’s an extra modifier key.
