Why would you be pressing down on the keys anyway? Just remove the caps so you can ACTUALLY clean the keyboard.
Birds love a deep clean!
This might just be my keyboard specifically, but I broke some of the caps doing this and had to special-order replace them.
There were two HDMI ports. (I selected the correct one)
why does this image have built-in spit droplets
This was incredibly confusing for me because I washed my hands after opening this post. I picked up my phone, and I read your top comment before reading the post, and then I looked at my screen and I actually had water on my screen. I was like, “Damn that is some realistic looking water!” Then I wiped it on my shirt and it disappeared and I got really confused lol
My dumb ass just went and tried to clean my screen before I read your comment
Same, I was wondering why doesn’t the damn thing cleanse off
Did you put it into screen cleaning mode first?

It’s semen
Shower thoughts, clearly it needs water.
Image so old it got moldy
- Unplug keyboard or turn off bluetooth.
- Clean keyboard.
Unplugging the keyboard requires getting down on my hands and knees, groping around to find a plug I can’t visually see, and probably dislocating my shoulder in the process.
And then even more luck required to get the plug I can’t see back IN, trying the USB every single way blind by feel only, and neither way wants to accept it’s the right one.
It’s an absolute last resort.
My keyboard has a detachable cable so you can just unplug it from the keyboard
same, mine is also USB-C on the keyboard’s end.
I’m happy for you
Its odd that keyboards don’t have USB on the back of them. Every other peripheral does it seems, but they usually come hard wired.
ok but get this: I have a laptop
My god, unplug the USB or just turn off the keyboard. Simple.
I just open a vt and clean. Typing gibberish on login prompt is fine and f keys don’t work.
Lock screen also works.
I usually open vim.
Cybertruck is far ahead
You could also just unplug the keyboard
Unplug it or turn it off if it’s wireless. Not that hard.
Just lock the screen. The worst that’ll happen is a failed login or switching the keyboard layout or something.
Windows-L is the hotkey (in Windows at least), for those who maybe didn’t know.
And in GNOME. In KDE, it’s Ctrl+Alt+L. In macOS, it’s Cmd+Ctrl+Q.
My KDE (both 5 and 6, just checked) also uses Meta+L, by default. On my KDE 5 Ctrl+Alt+L appears as custom but I don’t remember adding it, maybe they inverted the two.
Maybe it’s the other way around then, it’s muscle memory at this point. I know GNOME and KDE are opposites.
Downtime aversion
the kb is almost always usb or wireless these days. just disconnect it or flip its own switch
Almost all DEs have a lock screen…
Everyone has a reason here why this isn’t necessary, but frankly it’s just not a dumb idea and especially relevant for shared workplace workstations. I’d rather have a disable for cleaning button than a windows button.
I don’t mind the windows button. It’s effectively a quick way to a run command.
Draw an S on there and bam! you have a Super button.
What’s a Super button you ask? It’s the S in S-M-butterfly. Or in other words: it’s an extra modifier key.
I think KDE plasma calls it the meta button. Now that’s ruined too!
Some keyboards have a lock button and most can be unplugged
Mostly only an issue for laptops.
Side note: whoever decided that pressing any key on the keyboard should turn on the computer should be shot. Fuck you Apple for bringing that back.
Not sure how long I’ve had this tool but several years at least. Nothing fancy, just toggles keyboard input temporarily so you can clean. Works for power key.
Years ago Apple rejected the app for the Mac App Store because apparently it’s “not useful”
Apple employees never clean their keyboards confirmed
I think there used to be a program for windows to lock the keyboard, too. Themed around protecting from cats walking across it, if anyone wants to look.
Thank you, meme, for making me take 20 seconds to clean my phone screen then wonder why it wouldn’t clean.
