@mttaggart @puppygirlhornypost2 but that takes sooooooo long :/
@fuchsiii @puppygirlhornypost2 Not if you do it wrong!
@mttaggart @puppygirlhornypost2 with how dirty my keyboard is it will take ages. To rly clean it I should pull the caps at a minimum...
@mttaggart I may have used the wrong solvent.
@mttaggart So, stupid question... how do you clean a keyboard? Such a pain, and haven't (yet) seen any good info on getting all the crud that falls between the keys.
@ai6yr Depends how hard you want to go. For a mechanical keyboard, use the key removal tool and go to work. Absent that, a little compressed air and gravity go a long way.
And honestly, I also use a less-favored lockpick for interstitial cleaning. It pulls a shocking amount out.
This is also how I clean lint from my phone's USB-C port.
@mttaggart@infosec.exchange @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I like to use a paint brush because I have 3 cats and two dogs. Often my switches will have hair and dust inbetween them and I find the best way to get rid of the stuff that your advice can't is to use a paint brush with a little bit of isopropyl alcohol. i go for 70% and do a little dab on the brush.
@puppygirlhornypost2 @mttaggart lol
me: blowing real hard on keyboard
(pile of dust and link all over desk, now desk needs to be cleaned, too).
I know the technical plural of the computer peripheral is "mouses" but that rolls off the tongue about as easily as peanut butter.
@AAKL That's the plural for this late Senator
@mttaggart Oh. Maybe not, then. We wouldn't want them to multiply 😁.
@mttaggart Add one more "es" to the end and it helps.
@cR0w Also "mousies" would be acceptable.
