Clean. The beer can is always on the chimney (which is next to the table that has the computer) when I use it. Just in case. No snacking for my daughter when she uses it.

My keyboard gets so dirty, I have to clean it about once a week now.

I would say 3-2 is where I am at, however it has rarely been known to hit level 1. But generally gets cleaned pretty quick.

I got seriously bored at work yesterday –*so bored that I actually cleaned my keyboard! Mind you, that's a difficult job with these silly new white G5 keyboards – they are the perfect ashtray

You mean the keyboard isn't for food storage?

I dunno. I think the white keyboards actually encourage cleaning. Dark colored ones get just as grimy but you don't see it till there's a whole layer of crud to clean off.

I use window cleaner and a small soft cloth (with tweezers to drag it around through the "valleys").
