    Here's a picture of my almost 15-year old keyboard after I gave it a bath. :D

    As long as that 'bath'was a good clean, and not a real one, it should still work, if it did before it got a 'bath':rolleyes:

    It was a 'real' bath.
    I took the keyboard apart and lightly scrubbed the top part in look warm water with dish washing liquid. Then it was rinsed and left outside in the sun to dry for the best part of the day.
    It's as good as new. ;)

    Looks really good. Did you happen to take a pic of the before for comparison?

    I now use a black keyboard, shows the dirt and muck a lot less it's a Dell RT7/D20. Great key action and it's PS/2 to boot....;)

    That would've been an embarrassment for my other halve who used the PC next to the kitchen. :eek:

    It's a PS/2. For the MSO Word & Excel shortcut buttons, and the scroll wheel to work horizontally, drivers have to be installed.
