Ever try one? Takes a minute or two to get used to but pretty neat!

$10 a Staples.

I'd try one. Beats shaking out the crumbs every couple of days & trying to
clean between the keys. But there's one problem w/ this flexible/washable
one - although prob. only in my own case/opinion: I wouldn't be able to pry
off the Caps Lock key, which I always do on my keyboards. (Otherwise, I'm
forever hitting the damn thing inadvertently, & since I don't touch-type,
by the time I look back at the monitor there are tons of words all in
caps...)

Go into the Accessibility Options menu in Windblows, there is a
selection that sets off a notification beep whenever you toggle Caps
Lock, Num Lock or Scroll Lock. High beep for on, low beep for off.
Has saved me a lot of typing grief over the years.

You know, I think I actually did do that years ago - it's ringing a bell.
But then must've decided the hell with the beeps, & ever since have just
pried off the Caps Lock key. ;-)
