I just washed my keyboard after using it for 2 years, so this is how it looks underneath those keys.

From the looks of your keyboard, cleaning the room in which your computer resides should be your next task

Do you take your keyboard to the beach with you?

My house windows are always opened, hence dust can come in easily, ya, I do clean the room, but it's not easy to clean the keyboard haha

Hehe.. They need to invent a keyboard that you can just throw in the washing machine once a month to clean out.
