i cant live without my pc if the keyboard is still wet ler....
should buy another keyboard as back up before sending it for wash.
i think if using hairdryer also can as long as it is dry enough.

It's A Best Water Resistant Keybaord You Want To Show Us?

Lolzzz..

My Town Really Banjir La..
This Season...

I washed my keyboard also today after looking at this thread, but not using this method lah, the dust & hair under the keys can't easily cleanup by just directly sink in water. I disassembled the keyboard, took out all keys, then wash them, faster to dry also, I am using the newly washed keyboard to type right now.

All I did was swirl it like hell inside the tub of soap water n all the gruesome stuff came out like magic. I din hafta remove anything. After that I used the sponge to clean off the key surfaces to amke them pure white again. Will take pics of my "new" Apple keyboard later.

So to say that this method is applicable to all keyboards in general? Or just those that can be disassemble?

nex time hav to make water prove cpu...

I tought uncle Ianho want to make watercooled keyboard....

dont use tiner ya...
it will destroy it ok

Those keyboards with shortcuts key like music controller etc is safe to be "banjir-ed" as well?

Am tempted to dump my logitech in the water too .....

Almost all electronics can survive clean water, just need to dry them properly. Its liquids other than pure water which are a problem, especially carbonated drinks.

what i'm scared is corrosion. cause you know la.. the the circuit part is zink/tin solder. so its most likely prone to corrosion.

Ya it works on all KBs but u must do it right n not rush it. Must make absolutely sure it's 100% dry after washing.




Actually I'm thinking about making a UV coolant reservoir at the bottom of my Apple KB coz the bottom part is crystal n can see the UV coolant inside.






After drying them out completely what is there to corrode?

Even handphones fall into swimming pool will survive if u pull the battry out immediately, open up the case, rinse with distilled water n let dry 100%. Most ppl panic n start making test call to c if the phone is still working n that's what kills it.

Wokeh, finally got time to take pics n upload after a hectic xmas week.



Just look at how spanking clean the KB is now. N no scrubbing involved too. All I did was dunk teh KB into the bucket n swirl it in the soap water.









This was how it looked like b4 washing.












Everything done. Keys installed back n looking nice n shiny white like new.

when can we see you doing this to your G15?

Just repaired n cleaned out my G15 the difficult way. Next year when it gets all dirty n disgusting again, I'll be sure to use this easier method.

Nice cleaning job bro.
Ive done it to my logitech KB too to remove all those cigarette ashes.

Hmm, how do you leave it to dry? Directly under the sun?

U can put under the sun or put it in a nice dry place with a lot of airflow. Ur usual place where u turn on the table fan wud b good too coz it'll make sure it dries out nicely.

If you are referring to what i did,i leave it to dry a few minutes and dry it again using hair dryer.
I dont put it under the sun,i just leave it at the bathroom.

I see. But when you put it into the soap water, won't the water get into the board?
