Some keyboards have a lock button and most can be unplugged
I think there used to be a program for windows to lock the keyboard, too. Themed around protecting from cats walking across it, if anyone wants to look.
Mostly only an issue for laptops.
Side note: whoever decided that pressing any key on the keyboard should turn on the computer should be shot. Fuck you Apple for bringing that back.
Not sure how long I’ve had this tool but several years at least. Nothing fancy, just toggles keyboard input temporarily so you can clean. Works for power key.
Years ago Apple rejected the app for the Mac App Store because apparently it’s “not useful”
Apple employees never clean their keyboards confirmed
You’re supposed to clean your keyboard?
I bought one with lights and it’s a glorious display case for my collection of dead skin, crumbs and stray pubes.
How are your pubes getting near your k–
wait, no I don’t want the answer to that question.
Stray WHAT??? 😭
Thank you, meme, for making me take 20 seconds to clean my phone screen then wonder why it wouldn’t clean.
why does this image have built-in spit droplets
It has been saved, reposted and saved so many times that there is data loss making fuzzy artifacts in the picture.
Shower thoughts, clearly it needs water.
Image so old it got moldy
My dumb ass just went and tried to clean my screen before I read your comment
Same, I was wondering why doesn’t the damn thing cleanse off
Did you put it into screen cleaning mode first?
This was incredibly confusing for me because I washed my hands after opening this post. I picked up my phone, and I read your top comment before reading the post, and then I looked at my screen and I actually had water on my screen. I was like, “Damn that is some realistic looking water!” Then I wiped it on my shirt and it disappeared and I got really confused lol
It’s semen
Almost all DEs have a lock screen…
Downtime aversion
the kb is almost always usb or wireless these days. just disconnect it or flip its own switch
My god, unplug the USB or just turn off the keyboard. Simple.
Why would you be pressing down on the keys anyway? Just remove the caps so you can ACTUALLY clean the keyboard.
Birds love a deep clean!
Cybertruck is far ahead
I bought an expensive mechanical keyboard. It is the bane of my existence.
Oversensitive little princess that needs its precious little keycaps polished every other week to stop it from double tapping itself, and when that doesn’t work you have to program it not to hiccup, and yet it still does.
Never used to have this problem with the cheap plastic ones I used to buy.
Dont buy into the mechanical keyboard fad. It’s a scam for idiots like myself who think pretty LEDs will solve their nonexistent problems.
Your mistakes was buying for the leds and not the switches. I have one with mx cherry blues, it is built like a tank.
I have a mechanical keyboard and have double click issues. I just kinda press down the keys really hard until they stop double clicking…
Is there a software solution for this? Like something that prevents double clicking by filtering keyboard inputs? for Wayland, on Linux?
I’ve owned many boards and have never heard of such issues. That sounds like a really cheap one, or inexperienced company.
I’ve never had issues with many switches between Cherry, Kailh, Gateron, etc
A lot of the better brands include LEDs too. It’s just another checkbox on the product comparison sheet. Not like you can’t shut em off anyway
What keyboard did you get?
I would steer clear of gaming mechanicals now but I’ve switched to Keychron and I love it.
I have a mechanical keeb and cleaned it once in the last year I think you purchased a PoS
I just open a vt and clean. Typing gibberish on login prompt is fine and f keys don’t work.
I usually open vim.
Lock screen also works.
Esterline make specialised keyboards that are specifically for sterile environments which have this feature. You press a button, the keys are ignored and you can wipe the keyboard down.
Sounds like a mouthwash company
There were two HDMI ports. (I selected the correct one)

You’re supposed to take it to the Apple store, where they will charge you $800 to “clean” the keyboard, by replacing and throwing away half the computer. This is the correct user experience. /s
Apple hates making functional serviceable machines anymore.
You could also just unplug the keyboard
