I had bad luck with the two last keyboards I bought - the good one I drowned in a cup of water, and the other was one of the "new consumer type" keyboards that was worn out after two months.
Since I wasn't completely happy with all that new fangled stufdf anyway, I went back to the roots[^]. The only thing I actually miss is volume control - other than that, the "100% standard layout" and the distinct pressure point are exactly what I need.

At home about once every 3 to 5 years. Probably longer at work (being that we have a box in the development room with 25 to 50 recycled keyboards) but sometimes I will include one in a computer purchase as I build all the departments machines. The last one I got was a microsoft keyboard and optical mouse bundle for around $20US total at newegg.

I know its time to clean my Microsoft Keyboard when it turns pale from the usual squeaky white. I sometimes use spirit or diluted kerosene with cotton to clean up. Its difficult to get to cleaning, but believe me the satisfaction you get once its clean, is worth it.

.... when my keyboard requires cleaning. They are so cheap nowadays (not talking about keyboards like Logitech diNovo Edge[^]) that imho its cheaper to buy a new keyboard instead of cleaner

Nice to see that ecological considerations haven't permeated into the world of the computer nerd yet!

...That you can actually put your keyboard in a dishwasher so long as you don't use any soap (or sanitize cycle or anything like that that would melt the plastic), and then leave it out to dry upside down for a few days at least. I'm not exactly sure where I heard this, but is this madness or is it OK to do? What do you guys think?
P.S. I've never tried this, and do so at your own risk.

Positive. Come to think of it, I think I heard about this on a t.v. show about personal computing when I was scanning through the t.v. wasteland one day... I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure that's where it came from.

Some keyboards can be put in the dishwasher. Most of them cannot.
Those flexible silicon ones can for instance. Out of the regular ones most of them cannot, but some can go in the dishwasher. If your keyboard can it will say so on the box or on the product's page of the company that made it. If it don't mention it, then it don't go in the dishwasher. Plain and simple.
They are very scarce too. For instance I mostly use Microsoft's keyboards and I can tell you that none of them can go in there. I don't think logitech has any either.

The following is a true story:
We have a guy here at my office that has one of the older "original" Microsoft Natural keyboards, that they no longer make. He spilled a soda on it a couple months ago, and it stopped working. Figuring he had nothing to loose, he tried the whole "dish washer" thing, and it worked; and amazing enough, now so does his keyboard.
Now, if you ask me, I would NEVER put my keyboard in the dishwasher unless something happened to it like what I just described above; it's just not worth the risk. Well, at least for me and the keyboard I use, which also cannot be replaced.
But in his situation, it did work, and he's still using that keyboard.
