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

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

        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.
