    ... that dropping sun flower seeds into your mechanical keyboard may keep the keys from fully depressing?

    "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

      Happy keys, indeed! In my experience, pieces of rheophores do the trick as well.

        Maybe an article on that would be appropriate?

          If you hit the offending key with a hammer hard enough it will pulverize the seeds. :)

            Coke, or coffee with sugar does a better job. I have about seventeen extra keyboards just in case. :sigh:

            I didn't do it, I swear.

                Take it in the shower with you and wash it out. Then dry.

                  This is actually not a bad suggestion. As long as you allow it to dry completely before applying any power to it.

                  The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
