    I clean mine every week, sometimes more than once. Keyboards are filthy things if they are allowed to fester!

    I've never cleaned mine, surprisingly it doesn't get too dusty or anything, and I don't eat by the computer.

    Only when I spill something on it... sometimes I just turn it upside down and shake it, then wipe it when I'm dusting my room. But that's hardly considered cleaning.

    Well, my keyboard looks the same as new (minus the dust). I vacuum it when it gets dusty.

    I wipe it down and blow dust out every 10 days or so, I hate that sticky feeling otherwise... :/

    I don't eat by my PC, and my keyboard slides under my desk when not in use so it doesn't get too dusty. I probably blow it out once every few months. Oh I also wash my hands before using the computer and don't smoke. Maybe we should start a poll for that? :D

    man, cleaning my keyboard isnt my problem, my problem is dropping it everytime i move it.....i went through 4 keyboards this year already because i break em like a movie star breaks his cars, and trucks..

    im a clutz bigtime.....
    i can see my movie up in lights as we speak:

    *sublime20: the keyboard chronicles -

    synopsys:

    join sublime20 as he jumps out of moving vehichles, jumps out of planes and races down slopes with his keyboard to bring justice to the angry ninja bandits and saves his fair lady in this suspensefull thriller were all the keyboards he touches have a lifespan of no longer than 4 days"

    so get ready and grab your helmets and full body armor, 'cause you will be burned, flung, drug through big time action sets, and blown up.. you might also have QWERTY shrapnel headed your way in this pulse pounding, whiteknuckle keyboard slamming action packed movie!

    New York Times
    "i swear i counted at least 20 keyboards get dismembered and mutilated throughout the whole movie, it was like world war 3"

    E! Entertainment weekly:
    "Sublime20 really has a way with showing you new ways to destroy the most beloved keyboards around- you should have seen the way he used a keyboard as a battering ram to get a cell phone out of a locked cabinet"

    Fox News:
    " sublime20 is truly surgical with that keyboard..thwarting angry ninja dudes with the back of his keyboard... mad skills!!!"

    Same, I just use a dust cloth to wipe the glossy parts off, and wash my hands before I use my pc.

    I clean mine every month or 2 months. My keyboard is an HP Laptop based keyboard and it doesnt get that much stuff stuck inside it so fine. I clean the dust every week or so but that is usually when i am not using it.

    Never, I always just buy a new one (typically a new one every year). I dont ever buy gaming keyboards and stick to the ones that are under $10 that dont sound fricking loud when typing. These inexpensive keyboards can even be washed in the sink/dishwasher.

    Im basically the same. Just get cheap keyboards. I clean them only if there's literally a substance on them.
