Keyboard world domination conspiracy!
    #5507139 - 04/12/06 09:02 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I was smoking some lovely cannabis to myself yesterday and I found myself shocked as I uncovered something rather disturbing:

When I press shift and type the alphabet, I get:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

But when I press both shifts and type the same thing, I get:

ACDEGIJLNRSTUVWY

That means when you hold both shifts, you can't type:
bfkmopqxz  !  :crazy2: :eek: :mad2: :crazy2:

BFKMOPQXZ! This, when decyphered with rot13 is OSXZBCDKM! OS X! Apple is creeping up into our computers, Steve Jobs is the DEVIL! We need to make a 20-gram powdered mushroom assault to thwart his plans and make his see his evilness!

Chaos!

I just found out this yesterday accidentally. This is, I believe top secret information and I think it will be used to some evil world domination scheme! Burn your keyboard and use onscreen-keyboard for maximum safety!

EDIT: Post your keyboards as well!

A few months ago I got myself this after my old one died. Really nice. :thumbup:




I have a lower-end keyboard that's sort of like that. Logitech... has a simple set of buttons for playing media and volume... and then a row of buttons for common functions (homepage, e-mail program, search, and an icon of a running person that doesn't seem to do anything). My prob with the thing is that it's ergonomic, so I had to get used to it before I could hit the right keys. I can around 30wpm, but I chicken-peck with my fingers... so it's all muscle memory.

When I got the ergo keyboard, it took about a month before I could type well without looking. Problem is that fucks me up if I get a job where I need to type but have a non-ergo keyboard (which is 90% likely to be the keyboard they have).

Ever seen the keyboards that are actually just projected onto a flat surface? It projects the outlines and letters of the keys in a bold laser light, and uses sensors to tell when you're "pushing" them.

They seem totally awesome!
~You can see it in the dark
~It's small and portable
~It doesn't get crumbs and shit in it
~No keystroke noises
~makes cleanup not an issue

The whole cleanliness thing was getting hospitals really interested. Regular keyboards are considered impossible to sterilize... they get shit stuck all over inside of them, and you can't douse them in a disinfectant without ruining them. With a projected keyboard they can just sterilize the little projector/sensor unit, and then turn a clean sterile desk into the keyboard.

Pictars!

Well I guess you could use certain nonconductive disinfectants.. but then there's all the junk that WILL get down inside any keyboard. What if that junk contains conductive ions? If it does... it could still ruin the keyboard.

There are those plastic keyboard condoms, but those get pretty ratty... and there can still be microbe life under them... so all it does is keep the dirt out.

one can disassemble the KB and rinse it with a light bleach solution or alcohol solution followed by a thorough rinsing with running water. scrubbing with a brush is fine too as long as care is taken not to damage the board. the biggest factor is making absofuckinlootley sure the thing is entirely dry before powering it up.

i have done this many many times with KBs i have picked up with auction or yardsale or giveaway computers and also to my own KBs. BTW, the one and only time I have ever spilled anything into my KB it was water and it did not hurt anything despite the fact the computer was running at the time of the accident.

In my life I've taken apart 2 keyboards. One was a heavy old-school motherfucker that was left over from my family's Packard Bell. It had the years of dust and shit that comes with such long use.. and I took the keys off to clean it up.

I was careful to get all of the keys back where they belonged, but somehow the process fucked up a few of their springs... so it got tossed.

I opened up the one I have now, the inside is pretty cool. It has layers of clear plastic with wires embedded in them. They were easy to clean. I had spilled a soda on it while it was on, and it was okay... but I wanted to clean it right away so it wouldn't get sticky. Rubbing alcohol worked pretty well.

Still, it wasn't sterile... I can't see how I'd do that. There are some places where the assembly is permanent and you can't get it open to clean.

i see your point on sterility. i was more concerned with not getting crap on my fingers and just knowing there weren't 5yo pop-tart crumbs from some rugrat in there. i'd say that IR KB is the way to go if you need to type while doing G2G transfers.

I cleaned my old keyboard by washing it. Sink keyboard in soap/water, brush thoroughly, let dry, use as normal.

There is one company that makes keyboards that are guaranteed to be dishwasher safe. They also fold in half... I didn't read much about them at the time. I kind of wish I had, mine's getting a little dirty. One of the keys sticks. I guess I missed a spot of soda.
