[CAUT] slick keytops

[Willem Blees]

Do the keys feel slick to you? If not, perhaps you might ask the professor what hand cream he/she uses. Too much of that stuff on hands will make sandpaper feel slick.

List,

 

A professor says the keys on our CF are “too slick” or “slippery”. This is real ivory. And they were dirty too. I cleaned them with “Keybrite”, and now they’re even more “slick”. Any quick solutions? (Light sanding? Hairspray?)

 

Thanks,

p.s. I couldn’t find anything for ivory on the archives.
