Disgusting Keyboard and Mouse

June 6th, 2008

Ever seen something that just disgusts you so much that you wanted to just share it with the world? Well I have. I have been sitting on this for a while now because I wanted to get some better pictures, but really, I think I did a good job capturing the essence of what I saw. No doubt in my mind I got that. I also think my camera did a great job capturing the tiny nuances of this little project.

It all started a while back when I had to install some anti-virus on an client's computer. I am pretty used to ugly disgusting keyboards, so I had no fear using this one. It was until I realized the palm of man hand began to tingle and burn. I kid you not, my hand began to burn from whatever was on the keyboard. So I did what was best used my fingertips like a prong to control the mouse.

Well, here is an epic journey through what I call...


I have here multiple pictures that I am sure will make you think, "WHOA." Your face may resemble this emoticon: O_O

Let's begin!

Here is a shot of the keyboard, as you can see, it is covered with some sort of film. Quite horrible considering this is a black keyboard.


Now a more top view type deal. The film that you see doesn't shine, it's like moss almost.


Mmm, angles.




Time for some zoomed up views of the keyboard. Let us start further out and work our way in. Here is a view of a bunch of keys. As you can see the film has tiny strings stretched across between keys. Probably to transport the micro organisms across to other lands of film. You can also see some hair.


Now we take a look at the arrow keys and some other keys.


Now we're going to focus on the keys more and what is in between those keys.


Now we are going to get a macro shot of what is in between the keys. You will be able to see tiny cornflakes.


Finally, the mouse. It's in a beautiful camouflage white.
