I literally lost a unique key...
-
I got home yesterday and found my left arrow key missing on my 20 year old keyboard... The keys are pretty solid. I've tried to get them off once, but without success. Suspect #1, the cleaner. She's the only one who has been in my house, save for the cat. Suspect #2, there wasn't any. No way in hell that the cat could've done this without throwing the keyboard on the floor or anything. So I asked the cleaner, but she told me it already was like that. She sometimes brings her son, but he was at school. She DID offer me a new keyboard though, pretty awesome for someone who did not break my keyboard in any way! So... One person in the house and she knows nothing about the key. I've searched and ultimately found the key, broken, in the bag of the vacuum cleaner. Confronted the cleaner with it, but she still denies knowing anything about it. "Must've happened while I was cleaning and I didn't notice." So you wreck a nearly unbreakable keyboard and somehow manage to get the key in the vacuum cleaner (must've made some noise!) and do so without noticing!? :wtf: I gave her the benefit of the doubt because she's been my cleaner for over a year without any problems and I really don't feel like finding another cleaner. For a minute there I was afraid I'd be needing a new keyboard, but it seems my old friend can stay with me a little longer :D

Perhaps you should try cleaning all the years worth of detritus from in-between the keys of your keyboard. Maybe that's what your cleaner was trying to do for you... Imagine trying to clean all that dead skin buildup. And all the nutella... and breadcrumbs... sheesh

Vacuuming - knock the keyboard onto the floor (is it wired?) - key pops off unnoticed - picked up by the vacuum cleaner. She does not want to admit to knocking the keyboard to the floor and genuinely has no idea why you are wittering on about the missing key. And I thought my paranoia was getting the better of my judgement.

I've tried, but I couldn't get the keys loose! (true story) :~

The keyboard is wired. If it were to fall on the floor it would probably take my monitor and speakers with it (but more likely is that they keep the keyboard from falling). She said she noticed the missing key right away and it was like that when she got here. Now that sounds like a lie to not have to pay for damages. Although I do somehow believe she's not lying to me... So I really wonder how she managed to wreck the key without noticing :~

You can afford a cleaner and you expect us poorly paid keyboard monkeys to be sympathetic? :P Best way to phone help someone fix a broken keyboard? 1. Grasp keyboard firmly in both hands 2. Raise keyboard above head 3. Shake real hard. Wait for the screams...

Sounds like a scene from a bad porno. "You lost a key." "No, monsieur I didn't." "Take off your shirt.... Uh, on the other hand, put it back on and go away."
