RIP My Keyboard

I suppose now is where I'm supposed to tell you that I regret drinking iced tea near my computer. I am further supposed to apologize for attempting to rectify the situation by giving the keyboard a shower and apparently destroying it.* Even Windows now gives me a message along the lines of "this device is seriously fucked up" when I so much as plug it in.

But I'm not going to repent. One spill in some 7 years of eating and drinking by the computer isn't too bad. Plus, I wasn't using it to its fullest. Maybe in computer component heaven, someone will actually enjoy its LCD screen and macro keys rather than just using it for its backlight like I did. That is assuming that its LCD screen and macro keys somehow magically work again...

Anyway, G15, I'm sorry I killed you, and I will mourn your loss until the new keyboard I ordered off eBay arrives, and maybe longer if that one sucks.

*For the record, I did once successfully shower a keyboard, though not one with an LCD in it.

You washed your G15? Dude... I was skeptical about your first keyboard washing, but come on! LCD screen? Water? Bad? ;) BTW it also has a USB hub...

If you weren't using the LCD you could have opted for the G11 that doesn't have one. What's your replacement?

Heh, I was skeptical too, but it was useless as it was... If I pressed H or Y or a few other keys, it would take about 2 minutes for the key to pop up again. Ironically, showering it didn't even really fix THAT. My replacement is some random no-name keyboard from eBay. I think the brand is called Frisby. I thought about the G11, but you really save almost no money that way, and I simply don't care about the macros etc. Plus my girlfriend complained that the G15 keys were loud, so I figured I'd try one that claims to be quiet. We shall see how random eBay keyboard lives up to its claims.

Other quick note: I realized the LCD had a good chance of dying, but I have had it closed for months, and I figured the keyboard might work regardless of whether the screen did.

Bought it off eBay about 8 months ago, maybe. Why do you want to know that, anyway? I mean, I knew my blog would catapult me into a life of stardom, but nobody warned me about the craziness! I NEED MY PRIVACY!!! DAMN PAPARAZZI!!! YOU KILLED PRINCESS DI, AND NOW YOU'RE AFTER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, uh...

Yeah, about 8 months.

I put a keyboard underwater overnight and it was fan dried and still worked. Also you have a small ding dong Gid.
