No pics, but stuff my hands touch are usually pretty clean. I've always despised tacky hands, and wash them frequently, though less than OCD levels. If I eat something greasy, sticky, or whatever, I wash my hands before I touch my equipment.

I really wish I could get ahold of one of those really old school IBM mechanic clicky clacky keyboards adapted with a toggle adapter from the old school PS2 to fit PS2 v2 and USB.

You guys know the ones I am talking about... the keyboard you can take apart and place in the dishwasher! :-D I would never buy another keyboard ever again :) I miss the old tactical loud typing feel and sounds.

that being said, my keyboard gets pretty dusty and greasy, just b/c my hands/fingers are naturally greasy etc.. I cause the letters to fake b/c of the crappy etching and I get the grease spots over most used keys like space bar etc.. :/

I use macros more at work for work stuff than I use the macros (g keys) for gaming at home on a similar keyboard. And yes my keyboard at work is much cleaner than my one at home.

Once a month I shake it out. That way I don't have to pack a lunch that day.

Not terrible, just a bit dusty. We have cleaners that come and clean during the weekend but they're terrible. I can't believe we pay these people to do such a shitty job.

Work keyboard (not a great pic, I know, taken with cellphone):

Currently sitting in one of the comfy chairs back in the office library, so I'm using my laptop right now:

home keyboard is my work keyboard... I flip/shake it and hand-vac once in a while. I eat here too so lots of stuff falls out. :D It's really satisfying after a cleaning.

Mine's smothered in Vaseline so the keys won't stick; aside from that, very clean.
