I just cleaned my keyboard, and I admit, its been long overdue. All it took was a papertowel slightly damp to remove that slimy, salty (theoretically salty, from my sweat) feeling from the keyboard and rest guard. How often should someone clean their keyboard? How gross is it to use someone’s machine for an email check to find the keyboard is as filthy as mine was.
How much wear should a keyboard endure before being thrown out? Before a laptop was my primary machine, I swapped keyboards regularly. The work machine has seen two CES shows, two Macworlds, and a bunch of other live events, not to mention all the day to day, and the A, S, D, F, L, C and E keys are all worn down to a dull grey metal where the fake silver was.

This boxer has to be the best USB toy since the humping dog. You use the arrow keys to throw punches and/or rotate the base, and the boxer throws punches at a speedbag that sits on your desktop. And it has bell and crowd sound effects. Awesome. Selling now for ?29.99. [Thumbs Up UK via Ubergizmo]
