Unfortunately yes... Still time (well a few hours) for folks to get sorted!

OK - Submissions are in and I'll have the site updated as soon as I get the keyboard on the Mac fixed. Darling daughter spilled melted ice-lolly into it's delicate innards and now it doesn't work

WTB: Really really small allen key.

I've had success using a tiny ordinary screwdriver in an allen 'socket' - you need the width of the screwdriver blade to be just small enough to fit in the hexagonal hole at it's widest part...

@Davey keyboards (depowered) do very well with a wash in the dishwasher (minus detergent), but let it dry well before use

*glances at disgusting keyboard*

Hmmm, eight years of coffee, beer, crisps, hastily scribbled memos... dish washer you say? :shock:

Nothing to lose I suppose, except the mankiness.

dishwasher - if you are less brave under the shower and hit it with a nail brush. the important part is drying. I don't use detergent in case of residue.

Now I remember when I was a field tech (many years ago) the most disgusting thing I ever had to do was repair a keyboard on an Compaq 286 (I said manyyears ago). In those days people smoked in the office (often with a ciggy in hand). I opened the keyboard up and it was jam packed with ash. Jeez it STUNK.

OK - Keyboard is sorta working (missing left shift and ctrl keys) - Will get the site updated this evening and voting underway. Sorry for the delays.

Big thanks to Davey for organising all of this, shame there wasn't a bit more interest in this round but good luck to all involved. :cool:
