Just tapped a bunch of dust, grit, and I-don't-know-what from my keyboard
#16
I am the "Peanuts" Pigpen of keyboards. Dust and grime follows me in a happy cloud, and they happily transfer themselves to my keyboards.
Some keyboards have hairs trapped beneath, mine have hairballs.
Once, during a short and violent inverted percussive maintenance event, a very small ball bearing popped out. There were no ball bearings in the original design.

Once, at work, I was given a Microsoft keyboard, and it was a very good keyboard. But after a while, it needed some care. So I inverted, and tapped mightily, and I then went after the keys with Q-tips and ethanol. They ended up very clean, and totally devoid of any lettering.
Don't blame the ethanol; body chemistry, and a cloud of grime, had already done the crime.

This has been fun, folks. Keep the stories coming.
