So how clean is your keyboard?

i'm replacing my home keyboard, so i'll look at the old one after i replace it.

oh, i LOVE my optical mouse - no more stupid little balls & things to clean off!

Devin's not fond of the keyboard, mostly because he can't find a way to rest on my hand comfortably (for him, of course).

He'll sleep next to the keyboard (on both sides) so I just brush the little black hairs off to the floor, hopefully for the vacum.

OMG tons in the keyboard and tower! I just bought a new tower cause my old one had lots of hair and dust in it causing it to over heat....

I also recently removed all the caps to clean out the keyboard! Oh my what a fuzzy mess!

I have an optical mouse. I have to use tweezers to pull hairs out of it every few days or it doesn't seem to work right.

oh no, I was going out today to replace my ball point mouse with an optical, as the cat hair in the mouse is getting on my nerves.... I was hoping optical mice are cat-hair-resilient.....

My PC is filled up with cat hair. I have to clean the fans every 3 months, as they start squeeking when there is to much cat hair in them. Thankfully I am getting a new PC tomorrow which has a dustfilter. YAY. No visible cat-hair in the keyboard.... but it's only 3 weeks old....
