They're all "Greasy" I guess, it's annoying, the buttons I rarely press are all not shiny and clean. I've tried water and lots of rubbing, to no avail.

This is the type of keyboard it has (the best kind )

Are you pouring syrup on them?

Mine are still like new and I've had the E-series since it was released...



I'd say you should remove the front plate to properly clean them
Yeah mine's an E-series Sony Vaio and it's got "Grease" from my fingers making the keys all shiny and ugly.

So, how do I remove this front plate?

I think I'll try the ajax, that can't hurt, and if the greasy junk is still there I'll go for alcohol.

I did research cleaning and I found multiple ways, most of which you folks mentioned, I just thought I should ask you guys first.

AJAX will destroy any and all fat on your keyboard. If it doesn't, you're doing something horribly, horribly wrong.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I tried some Ajax dish soap with warm water. I took a cloth and scrubbed at one key for a good minute, tried it with a towel and the fat was still there.

Yea im happy with my droid x. Still, it will be interesting to see what the end of exclusivity will do to att. Consumer reports just put at&t on their no buy list. Which is the worst they've ever done.

So windows has started telling me to replace my laptop battery

"Consider replacing your batter"

Odd, since I haven't noticed any change in performance of the battery.

You'll only notice performance decrease in the way you'll get less battery life. If you keep it plugged in 24/7 you're not gonna notice anything.

Download HWMonitor, that can tell you your batteries current capacity versus what it should have, then you can see if it's proppa fucked.

E: ignore the first line, that was a fail mis-read.

Its probably not fat then.

Other 'substances' can set like glue, what have you been doing with your hands lately?

For instance, that's my laptop keyboard, and it's as clean as it's ever been. It's just shiny since it's received quite a bit of use over the years.

It's just to demonstrate the mirror gloss of the touch pad. It used to be matter than the arm rest, you know.

It's actually that context menu thingy key that's missing, and that's because I can't type on laptops that have a key placed like that. I always hit it rather than the punctuation key.

Thinking of buying a Saitek Pro Flight X-65F Combat Control System.

Alternative is the Logitech G940. Anyone know what the Logitech is like?
