That would depend on the drying time and procedure where I work remotes for car starters and alarms take unplanned baths all the time not always to a good end

Can't wait to see Snow White

Too much work, I think. I wouldn't bother either.

But I would really make sure it's completely dry.

Wow, must definitely try this!

Wokeh, finally got time to take pics n upload after a hectic xmas week.

Just look at how spanking clean the KB is now. N no scrubbing involved too. All I did was dunk the KB into the bucket n swirl it in the soap water.

This was how it looked like b4 washing.

Everything done. Keys installed back n looking nice n shiny white like new.

I'll just leave it to dry for a week to make sure it's nice n dry.

Wow.. So clean without even scrubbing them?

That is so clean!

It's been sitting on my table for a few weeks now. Was too lazy to set it up with my other rig. Finally got to doing it a few days ago, everything's working perfectly. The numbers 3 n 8 were a bit wonky at first, after hitting the keys fast for about 30 seconds, they work properly now. I suppose the contact pads had a wee bit of residue left on it.

That is no longer a bathroom. It's a mutated bathroom that only gets used for modding stuff. It shud now be called the modroom. Looking at ur Location, it prob is the same.
