I think I probably flip my keyboard over and shake it out about once per day. At least a few times a week. I'm a horrible snacker. If I'm working from home, and I'm awake, I'm snacking and probably sitting at my keyboard.
@Xavier quarterly, but that answer was not available so I went for monthly as that's the closest :)

@shapr How... how many arms do you have?

@Xavier haha, I have only two arms, and perhaps too many keyboards.

I have at least five more keyboards floating around, a rare IBM Model F, two kinesis contoured, a really big light up one that requires two USB ports, all kinda weird stuff.

@Xavier

A quick surface clean: about once a day.

A full, depth cleaning: about once a year
@Xavier
Went with "Once a month", but the truth is more like "About once a year".
@Xavier I only touch my keyboard with my hands are you implying my hands are dirty??
@Xavier You left off "I buy a new keyboard when it stops working"

Who cares if it's fuzzy? πŸ˜€
@Xavier why is your keyboard getting fuzzy? I don't clean it very often and when I do it's generally quite clean already πŸ‘€
@Xavier @jerry
I'm one of those Model M people, and I disassemble and overhaul it every few years. Sometimes I'll pop the caps and dishwash them in between.
@Xavier I clean the keyboard every time it is dirty πŸ€ͺ

@Xavier wipe off the top with Windex and microfiber rag: every day or two
deep take off all the keys and soap them: once or twice a year

I voted day because that's closest but it's a bit less frequently then that

@Xavier @jerry I clean mine when it needs cleaning.
However, as we are doing a tech refresh cycle here, I asked my wife if she wanted a new keyboard while I was ordering her a new desktop, and she said:

β€œYes, my old one is filthy”

Naturally, my response was to order her a new keyboard.
I also cleaned her existing one. Just to rub it in…

@Xavier every year or two? I feel like the intervals in the poll should have continued further.
