Hi guys and gals. just letting you all know that i erm knocked my darn coffee over my gaming keyboard but i have a temporary one a friend loaned me and it isnt a full size keyboard. that being said my flying maybe a little erratic until i can afford a new one. which could be a while.

I play on a laptop with a game pad maybe not the best option for me but game pad works fine if you got one 👍

I sometimes share bits of my sandwich with my keyboard but I don't think it likes how they taste, at least the last one didn't but hey, it cost $15 and lasted 3 years so I can't complain.

Don't throw it away if you are able to clean it out...

I once fell into a swimming pool holding 2 digital photocamera's & 2 cell phones (don't ask), One of the cell phones still showed some life & was back functional after a week.

The others seemed dead, but came back to life after several weeks. But in your case the worst part is the coffee that might 'glue' the keys...

keyboards vs liquids,a refresher course of saving..

1-if it's sticky, at all, WATER.Immediately..Sure *WTH RUBBLE,MORE liquid* Yes. But don't just dunk the thing in a damn tub of h2o. Remove the keys in the area effected,and get a qtip or 12,and use them first to soak up the remaining liquid,then soak a few in h2o and go over the areas the liquid was. Helps w/the sugar-glue as spoken about previously.Also,do the INSIDE of the keys You remove,else You're just putting that crap back in the keyboard.
2-Let gravity/air help. Prop the keyboard so that the effected area is lowest,while a fan blows gently on it. Make sure that it's not near a register or return for HVAC system in home,otherwise You'll attract dust/dirt into keyboard. This could take several hours.
3-Cups w/lids. Invest in them. Learn to use them. Become one w/the cup w/lid. Then,remind Yourself You AREN'T fuckin Oprah and you cannot replace your keyboard everytime you tard out and douche Your keyboard w/the drink of the day.
4-if none of the above work,place keyboard in boot of vehicle. Grab keys/wallet and head to local comp store. Purchase new keyboard.On way home,stop at gun range/open field.Retrieve 1st keyboard from boot,emplace in safe area. Load w/3lbs of Tannerite and retrieve a weapon...the larger the caliber,the better. Retreat a safe distance. Fart,assume a proper shooting stance,and send lead downrange until said tannerite reduces the offending keyboard to it's composite parts structure.Take cell video,laugh.Retrieve what can be found,put in rubbish bin,then return home,install new keyboard,and You'll be back viewing Midgets in costumes war-porn in no time at all
