    So are mine then I spilt root beer on them now they are sticky, quiet and my hands smell like root beer when I'm done.

    yay.

    Then I got some pliers and ripped my arrow keys off and switched them with my WASD keys.

      Put some WD40 in them.

          Yay root beer! I already surrounded the keys with like a cottony foam which made it a bit quieter. Thanks anyways.

              I believe WD40, although it works, is not good for that type of plastic. Also, WD40 is a dirt magnet, so even though it is good for a while, it grimes up.

                Seeing how my foam pad isn't workin' for me, I'll try something SIMILAR to WD40, like a white grease or a multipurpose lubricant.

                  Why does it matter?

                      Amen. However, DON'T use a lubricant. This will just make your keys move choppily and sometimes will just not go down.

                        Buy a quieter keyboard, duh.
                        I would go with a keyboard that has keys like a laptop.

                          You could just pry out every key, and replace them with quieter keys, if you don't want to actually buy a new keyboard.
                          When you're doing that, and pimping your mother so you guys can afford some gas money, maybe you can replace the drawstrings of your supermarket brand trash bags, and get your baby brother a new birthday present at the same time!!!!

                          Of you could just let the key noise take over you, and wallow in the endless abyss of key taps. It's refreshing to come home to a nice session of make the loudest noise ever possible with a keyboard. True fun.

                            I don't get why you'd want quiet keys...If anything the loud keys will help you hear how good (Or bad) you're doing.

                            Unless you're making crap stepfiles, which I wouldn't doubt, and don't want to hear the atrocity of improper syncing.

                            Either way, quiet keys suck.

                              I modded my arrows keys by spraying vegtable oil under them, and cleaning around the indents where the arrow keys can move down. As for making them quieter, as long as the keyboar is about 1-2 years old the vegtable oil should clean up any excess noise

                              + vegtable oil doesn't attract dirt. At least to my knowlage
