Normally, I just blast my ol' Micro-Innovations/Chicony KB-2961 keyboard with some compressed air, but every so often, around once every 2-3 years, that thing just needs a bath. Don't worry, the heavy plastic has survived since the '90s, so it's fine.

I have been planning on upgrading my desktop PC for years now and I finally did it. This was the 2nd PC I have built now. I also upgraded the monitor and the keyboard. This keyboard especially is a pleasure to type with. Could it result on writing more? Who knows. I sure hope so. It's been a while since I actually wrote anything.
