Ever had our Keyboard Die?

[SpeedCrazy]

Ok. My keyboard, stopped working. My mouse stopped working. I had just been using them in another system when, i plugged them in and the lights flashed and then nothing. I have, just got the keyboard to work but i cant get the mouse to work. Is it my PS/2 port or is it my cables, or can an electronic device be that picky as to when it works?

 

In case your wondering how i did this, i do actually have a USB mouse, just prefer the old ball wheel types when im not playing games. SOLVED

I'm so confused....what is actually broken??

You started off saying the keyboard stopped working than kinda said "wait actually it's the mouse" in the same sentence

My personal keyboard no, but I have seen family members spill drinks into theirs

 

Lets just say I had maybe 3 spare keyboards, I have none left

Oh.........

I have been doing that for about a month. To much hassle to go beg someone else's, the usb devices actually belong to family members. Okay problem solved.

Ive had two keyboards die in 14 years since ive had my own PC.

I've broken the space bar in one of my keyboards by hitting it with a wooden sword. My current keyboard already has one foot in the grave because of the wire, but it will do

Well now that this one is running again i can say that it has been running for almost 7 years.

I had a Saitek Eclipse that the backspace button started doing backslashes randomly and the backslash button wouldnt do anything. I opened it up and cleaned it and put it back together and it works fine. I still use it. Never had 1 actually "die" though.

My current keyboard's 4 key and F5 are broken, I guess I know now not to spill tea into electronics...
