and now I want one, this place is almost as bad as r/gundeals

Do you have a humidifier? Air conditioner? (and, of course.....there's always coffee and a shower .
I have asthma, too.

I have the AC going and a huge cup of coffee as well! It feels like it's starting to ease up a bit. Asthma can be rough, I hope yours is pretty manageable!

I spilled a single drop of water on my 'k' key and fried it. Now I use auto hotkey to change my forward slash key to my 'k' key.

That sucks. That keyboard looks awesome. Going to back to crappy keyboards always suck.

It is an awesome keyboard. It's less stressful on my arms/fingers and has good software that helps me do surveys and data entry better. Software takes a bit of getting used to, but super helpful.

I've tried to plug it back a few times and it just starts typing random letters.

Going to be more careful in the future by keeping less things on my desk. I had a lot of things on my desk, so soda can was not in its usual place and muscle memory did its thing unfortunately.

mine did that for a while too, it either needs to dry out more or whatever you were drinking (if it wasn't water) dried and is sticky. Remove the keys and clean em.

My wife just gave my daughter a huge thermos for her birthday that actually unscrews at the bottom for cleaning. I was amazed by it for days.

Honestly, the more meds I took - the worse it was. There was a time when it felt very disabling (albuterol). I was going though an inhaler every week. Now I take OTC asthmanefrin and dilute it with a lot of water. I use a tiny bit of that (four drops) every few days? It only bothers me, really, at night - sometimes. I know I should do other things, exercise and turmeric - and flax. I have started back in with the flax - and I'm going to buy a rowing machine for more exercise. But for me - the meds were a roller-coaster - addictive (really, I could hardly walk a few blocks without the inhaler). Now I'm pretty much okay.

Unfortunately, the vast amount of the soda (like 98%) went under the keyboard and not over the keys. The tiny bit of soda that went over the keyboard went over the G-keys on the side. Just tried again and it still does random letters, then starts opening new browser windows. Acts up so much that it freezes up the computer and I have to restart it. So, I think it may be well and truly fried.

They look pretty simple but are incredibly functional:
