A bit of dirt never hurt anybody. It builds resistance!

Given that its my keyboard & no-one else uses it, they are all my germs in the first place.

Hmm, the advice given is office equipment should be regularly disinfected to prevent the spread of bacteria responsible for colds and flu.. Do I take it that pouring Jeye's Fluid over the keyboard is not to be recommended?

heh, seen similar findings previously..... apparently keyboards get slightly warm when in use, and this can allow bacteria to grow, which spreads when different people share keyboards.

Kinda yucky :)

That kind of 'computer filth' isn't as dangerous to your health as the stuff found in your keyboard ;)

:idea: Time to start up ACME disposable keyboards and Mice. What's a good lifespan before it's too dirty - say a week? Be rolling in the money, 'cos someone would be mad enough to pay for it in this highly litigous world we live in.

Most keyboards you can pull the keys off quite easily. Soak them in warm water while you use a can of compressed air to spray off the board (or use a miniature vacumn, maplins sell them for £5) and then dust it off a little more. Dead easy, but it's best to write down the order the keys should go in first :D
