I've been spending a lot of time together with my keyboard but today, for some reason, I was suddenly struck by how very grungy it was. While I did a surface cleaning (except the keys) with paper towels and citrus cleanser, I thought about how long I've owned this thing. The realization that I've been with Danae for about ten years now and that this keyboard significantly predates her bent my brain for a few moments. There are a couple Model Ms that I've owned longer, but I only took one keyboard with me in the move.
I'm thinking about taking all the keycaps off to wash individually and cleaning out all the fur and stuff in the keywells when I have a little extra relaxation time.

Wow, I remember that. I'm trying to remember if our mutual workplace at the time bought it for you or if you bought it on your own. Regardless it's cool that you still have it. I'm glad it's holding up. My current keyboard I've had for five years and it feels like that's the longest I've every had one that I actively use.

Work bought it for me. It was actually kind of funny. I asked about getting an ergonomic keyboard because my wrist was bothering me, but they didn't want to do that. I started wearing a wrist brace to help. When the manager saw mw with a wrist brace, she approved a keyboard immediately! I can only guess she suddenly saw potential workman's comp/job injury issues as a possibility.
