I need a new keyboard!

Hi Blue, It has happened enough to me that I have a little stand next to my computer desk to set my drink on just so I won't accidently knock it over. There is nothing more irritating than not being able to get on the computer because the keyboard won't work! More than not, it would be one of my daughters that did it while I was at work. I'd get home from work at nearly midnight and this is how I unwind. I'll tell you what...the cheap keyboards at walmart that are like 10.00 work just fine. the one I'm using right now I actually paid for with MYlot earnings and that was months and months ago. The stands on either side of my computer were like 5.00 each....little wooden folding stands. No food or drink on the computer desk anymore!

Spilling stuff on a keyboard is a fact of life if you allow fluids of any kind near the computer..(As You Do!) most of the time those would be of the hot brown variety in my case! Coincidentally,I just bought another keyboard today..I'd tried my first wireless one last time that came as a set with a wireless mouse..the mouse is still working fine,but the keyboard seems to be on strike,despite me giving it a fresh battery..so until it stops huffing,I've gone back to a (Cheap!) wired one for now..I gave up on the wired one I had before the wireless one as the shift key kept sticking down,and I had to prise it up again each time..good luck getting another one!

WATER? That's not what the roomie gets in HER keyboards! We had to sew a monitor/keyboard cover to keep the cats from ruining ANOTHER keyboard! They got 3 in 3 weeks!

Hi, blue65packer. I am sorry about your keyboard. My daughter sprinkled milk onto this keyboard a couple of weeks ago. I am glad that it did not do any permanent damage to the keys. I know that some of the keys was not working properly on the keyboard before, but they have started to loosen up some. I hope that, you can get you a new keyboard that works better for you. I am sorry about the water accident.

You probably haven't dried it properly. Did you open the key board and wipe the circuitry dry? Keyboard circuitry is really could if you see it. It's not your regular PCB :) anyway, I had a friend who spilled coffee on his laptop while he was doing his thesis. We were all glad that it was just his keyboard not his hard disk! There are silicone protectors that you can buy for your keyboard. Try them, so wouldn't have to worry about damaging your keyboard. :)

I already spilled somethings on my keyboard, fortunately not to point it stops working. But certainly I already worried about it many times.
