Wash bkb50 keyboard?

RodLyman — Sun, 12 Jun 2016 15:09:27 GMT

So, partied a bit too hard yesterday. Ended up stupid drunk and vomiting on my tablet with keyboard. The tablet got rinsed in the sink but I am unsure as to wether I can do the same with the keyboard. It isn't stated any IP-rating in the manual but on the other hand it doesn't state the opposite either.

What's the word?

no it doesn't have IP certification,. so you can't wash it. try maybe wiping with wet wipes.

Did that but some has found its way beneath the keys and it smells a little. Guess it'll need to air for a few days.

My experience with those guys is rather unpleasant. At least threee phones that have come back with new issues or in other ways less than satisfactory repairs.

Disassembling the keyboard seems to pose challenges though. (I figure warranty is already voided by the presence of digestive fluids.)

Might try electronics cleaning aerosol instead...

Ultra purified water did the trick beautifully.
