So I have a snazzy Apple Keyboard...
I love it... it feels like a laptop and allows me to type at blazing speeds (~100 with 85% - 90% accuracy)... it's not for everyone, but it has short throws / fast actions on the keys...
The other day I was just returning home from a *$ (read: Starbucks) run and had a nice grande Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte (my current fav)... and I proceeded to immediately dump the entire contents onto my desk... Keyboard, mouse, Arduino, wallet, keys, pencils, paper, and headphones... Yeah, that's like all of my important things...
All came out fine with no damages, except my lovely keyboard...
And what do you know... one key does not work... Now, I could easily get along without one key for certain things, like the numbers row... or the functions row... but guess which key is broken...
The ? / key
Why am I raving and writing this overly verbose blog post about this key (well shit, I just typed out a question and have to copy and paste a question mark)...??? Is because you don't often realize how much a certain key is used until it's gone.
Consider my profession... software development... If you do a google search for Ruby Code or C# Code or Software Development and look at code, you'll notice how many of those ? and / there really are... Not to mention that those two characters are in the rare, filtered set of characters that are allowed in website URLs...
So far I've gone 4 or 5 days without those keys... next week when I get back from my mini-vaca, I'll tear this bitch apart and see if it's just a shorted circuit or a piece of dried coffee is messing things up...
I wish I just spilled water on this thing.
