You say that with the conviction of a man who has this down to an artform....

wired1 · 03-19-2002, 08:21 AM

You could try a vacume, or however you spell it...

Not artform, just a boring routine

kmanrox · 03-19-2002, 08:22 AM

i'd say a about 16 ounces of C-4 should do the trick?

Now, this works on clothes (I've had cats for about 20 years)- not too sure with keyboards - might work...
Get some masking tape or sellotape and wrap it around your hand - sticky side up - and blot all the hairs off

i could say the same thing about the virginity of your ass?

Gemini · 03-19-2002, 09:01 AM

SHOP VAC!! And then go to the key manufacturer and get a rubber 'condom' for it. Or you can buy some of these sweet IBM $75 dollar keysets from us as back ups. Get em while they are hot!! $20 for the first and $15 for the second. Plus shp & hdlg.

Mechanical switched keys no less. The heavy duty kind that you can hammer nails with and then go back to work.

Amputate Your Head · 03-19-2002, 09:23 AM

Gemini???!!! Long time, no bash girl!

Where you been?

actually, I have this wireless (Logitech) keyboard I bought a while ago... and I've not been able to bring myself to use it for some reason... I just can't get used to it... but I may hafta buy one of yours or something, cuz this Antec I'm using now has some major problems... if I hit the wrong key I get the blue screen of death.... and something tells me that a keyboard should not do that...

Kat - Fast · 03-19-2002, 09:26 AM

I bought an <a href="http://www.btc.com.tw/btc2002_e/products_multimedia_wirele.html#1" target="_blank">infrared keyboard</a> (BTC 5113) so I could hang it up when not in use - ie no kittie hairs, spilt coffee, biscuit crumbs etc

Paul -C- · 03-19-2002, 09:29 AM

Just do what Boneprone would do and shove it in the oven for 30 mins - that will get rid of any cat hairs!

Now I can understand the amount of your posts, the cat did it.

FADE19 · 03-19-2002, 09:30 AM

Stick it in the dishwasher

Gemini · 03-19-2002, 09:32 AM

I went to live with the InJuns while the old man played tunnel rat with some newer 'friends' we made last fall. ;) So I had no access to the net, or electric for that matter. lmao

These keys sets are the old style altho are new, made just a couple yrs back. I have a habit of spilling stuff on keys so its nice to have 100 spare sets in the attic. lol They don't have the frills and unitelligible garbage circuitry that bluescreens systems either. Plain down to Earth sets. Weigh in about 6 pounds too. Like I said, hammer nails with them!!

We don't like wireless much either. We had just got one of those new mouses with no ball and it goes nuts with ICQ on and some sites even. So we're going back soon.

Let me know if you want some keys. We bought out a store going out and thats why we can offer such a great deal. The guy sold over 1000 sets in 3 mos at 75 a pop. I believe they retailed for 89.95 or so. They will take a licking and its easy to get the rubber condoms for them since they are in the true IBM shape-style.

I'll watch your posts as I have time sl I can bach on ya some. k?

We're working to get all of our sites back up and going, traffic back etc. If anyone else wants good keys, gimme a holler! I know we have at least 70 sets left.

Cheshire · 03-19-2002, 10:19 AM

Take a balloon and rub it 'til it's covered with static energy, then hold it just above the keyboard and watch the hairs fly!

Even if my idea doesn't work, you gotta admit the creativity of it.

By now you should have thrown your old one out and been on the way home with your new one..

so let me get this straight.... you have a hanger for your keyboard?

If I can hang my Suzuki RGV frame on the wall, having a coat-hook on my workstation for the keyboard doesn't seem like a problem...

blunt · 03-19-2002, 02:33 PM

run the sticky side of a post-it note between the keys. you'll be surprised at the crap you'll pull out from there.

Eww, I just tried that and I found someone's pubes all in my keyboard. Someone's really sick around here.
Alright guys, 'fess up.

Couldn't have been you T.G.F. ~ I heard you shave.

kush · 03-19-2002, 03:48 PM

Here's an idea, and I think it might actually work.

Hair burns extremely fast - in case you've never noticed, except it has a tendency to stink so you'd want to do this outside.

Hold your keyboard upside down and use your lighter and pass the flame very quickly over the grooves between the keys. The hairs will instantly burn, keeping your keyboard intact. And whatever's left you can easilly vacuum out.

Try it

JFK · 03-19-2002, 05:02 PM

Yo... the same thing happens here on a regular basis. You can buy an adaptor brush for your vacuum cleaner to clean the keyboard! Our cat likes to hang around there as well ,so we clean it at least a couple times a week.

RobertD · 03-19-2002, 09:46 PM

Just turn it over and whack it on your desk until stuff stops falling out of it, that's what I do......

we need a fold up keyboard like the palm pilot one.. fits in a pocket/ case when you're finished....

could of course just get rid of the cat... not a fan of animals in the house personally..
