Gross but practical question: how do you keep your external keyboard / mouse clean? 

I've tried isopropyl wipes and it doesn't seem that effective.

I have the same keyboard at work and at home but the one at home feels 100x nicer since I use it so much less.

Is it a lost cause?

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

for keyboard: every month or so i take all the keycaps off and soak them in warm soapy water → then take them out → wipe them clean with a rag → put them back on the keyboard

for mouse: wet a rag and wipe it down, then dry (you prob need more friction than wipes)

yes, I do the same too, but I think he uses the apple magic keyboard which you can't really take the keycaps out..

Digital Media Producer. I like particles and waves too. I like art.

+ 1 part Bonners to 4 parts water in the foaming dispenser below
+ Clean with foam and dish sponge
+ Wipe off with damp rag when done scrubbing

The above allows surface to get clean for me without being "sticky" and without smelling like something chemical

(ps, I use this same solution to clean absolutely everything, including pots and pans. also only thing I wash my hands with. really like)
