You can wash almost all of them if you open the thing up. I did that with an old Logitech and it took 6 years of blood and sweat off it

I got myself a new one anyway :P

[Cortexian]

Yeah, that's why all you do is wash the keys and use a damp cloth on the rest of the "shell".

Nice experiment though?

i literally took a shower with my old keyboard and soaked it while pulling the entire thing apart.

Good prices on Ivy Bridge: http://www.techpowerup.com/157070/In...-Compiled.html

Wow, I expected a lot more $$$ for Ivy Bridge. I will probably upgrade my chip to one of the Ivy chips instead of upgrading to socket 2011. So long as my socket 1155 will support them, but it should.

Socket 2011 wasn't exactly a new generation. Yeah, it's a stronger chip, but only slightly. Unless you're wanting to bump up to i7, you might as well wait for the Ivy Bridge successor before dumping more money into a machine.

[Cortexian]

Yeah but the equivalent chips to the existing Sandy Bridge chips will OC better since they're 22nm and produce less heat.

Talking about the 3570K vs 2500K. Etc.

That said I will probably only upgrade to an i7. Upgrading to another i5 is kinda sidegrading instead of upgrading.
