Keyboard Horror Picture Show

Scary keyboard pictures go here.

I'll kick off with a G80-1501HAD. Yes, double shots. Less than 10 caps could be saved.

Anyone remember this one? (not my pic)

The top keyboard. Keys are shiny and very yellowed, with only half the print remaining. Full of dirt The black switches were quite scratchy ... but at least I could harvest the stabilizers.
A very less yellowed BTC rubber dome keyboard below.

Wait … is that BTC keyboard just there out of its own innate horror? Awful things to type on — they're the rubber dome equivalent of Acer switches.

tvs gold travesty

images don't show the fact they were sprayed with chemicals, couldn't touch them without washing your hands...

Uh, some of these pics made me shudder. Here's another example that belongs into this thread, a Ya Sheng (or Cheng Ya?) buckling springs board. One would expect a nice and crisp typing experience from BS keys but not so in this case. It's truly horrible! More info here.

What's the model/maker of top one? Just if there was one in decent condition around ;D

The dirty yellowed keyboard was a DytCom. I don't know the model, as I have thrown away the case...

That person is a disgusting pig. There's just no excuse for that.

I'll see your yellow and raise you a yellow:

(the Amiga below is the original colour - at least it's not as filthy as your example)

You certainly do. That vomit on the keyboard made me want to vomit... on my keyboard.

Some of those pictures look like the Max Headroom vision of the future - bums sitting around in trash watching television.

uuh ya, same here.

I just can not understand how people can live in such conditions. Some images I almost puked.

Kurk · 03 Mar 2013, 10:38

Is this real? Or is it kind of an incomprehensible art project?

ne0phyte · 03 Mar 2013, 14:35

Some images have a date and 4chan or /v/ on a piece of paper so I guess that at least some of them are actual rooms of computer addicts or just very filthy, disgusting people.

webwit · 03 Mar 2013, 17:14

Yeah it was a 4chan thing.
