Can anyone help me? http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36620.0

 

Take them to a jeweller, and ask for them to be ultrasonically cleaned. Or buy a real* ultrasonic cleaner yourself.

*not real, real.

 

Hmm What would that do to them?

 

Remove all the dirt. If you're DIY then use just distilled water, the micro bubbles lift the dirt out from the texture. If you're taking it to a jeweller, then most of the chemicals they could have in it are aluminium safe (but check with them) a lot of car restoration places have ultrasonic baths too, but I don't know what sort of chemicals they use.

 

Interesting... Do you have one?

It might not be dirt, it looks more like the aluminium has reacted with the grease from my skin.

 

I don't, I probably should, but I don't.

Done a little reading up on aluminium (it not really being a metal I work in I don't know a great deal about it) and non anodised aluminium can - apparently - be etched by the oils and acids present on our fingers.

Your picture doesn't look like etching... probably just needs a good clean, one product and here we have fluids for cleaning aluminium in ultrasonic baths...

 

Thank you That Quickleen stuff looks like something that you would see on a shopping channel! At 17 GBP per 500g it is expensive but then I guess that these caps need the love!

Would you give that stuff a go?

 

500g should do you forever! Hadn't noticed it was that much.

I would always start gentle and work up, have you tried ye-oldie' vinegar and toothbrush trick? Or if you don't like the smell of vinegar, you can always use lemons, leaves your keyboard smelling fresh rather than an old chip-shop...

 

I hadn't thought of that! I will try that out tomorrow night and if it doesn't work then I will buy some of that stuff.

I am willing to sacrifice one cap so might as well try a few things!

 

Nice doubleshots Lysol!

Longweight, the picture makes an awesome wallpaper!

 

Excellent!

 

This is the way Portal key caps are meant to be used. Especially at work!

.............

Think Lock screen when you leave your desk.......

 

I am ill and at home being bored so I am going to try my first keyboard mod!

 

What would that be

 

I would.. but my keys aren't the right profile and are 1x1.. so no use on the Windows key :/

I look forward to it!!
