For those that wear a FitBit on a watchband: when was the last time you cleaned it?
I'm sorry, but you may be about to experience a terrifying reality on your arm.
I have a set of washable bands that I swap out weekly. Cause, ewwwww.
@Cosmichomicide
It wasn't the band. I just installed a new, metal one.
There is a lot of room for "stuff" to collect on the device itself.
Oh yeah - but I clean all my "fingers" electronics at least weekly - phone, keyboard, mouse and Fitbit .
You are clearly a better person than am I.
Do you have a keyboard that is separate from your computer?
OK, so I have 3 keyboards, not including the one I never use on the laptop. Every week they get a superficial cleaning, periodically I pull their little caps off and give them the deep cleaning love and attention they deserve.
Keep in mind that these are my occupational tools (keyboards, mice).
And no, I do not use a KVM. More trouble than it is worth if you have the space to dedicate.
@Cosmichomicide
I'm on my 4th kvm.
I've got a remote velcroed to the edge of my desk that has a line-of-sight to the KVM mounted on the underside of my wall cabinets. I'm switching all day long.
I'll be designing a keyboard tray that fits under the desk when not using the computer. Then positioned for sitting. Then positioned for standing.
The tray will be a mesh so that all disgusting stuff falls through it continuously.
Yeah, switching drives me batty. I'm remote, so everything has it's own stuff and I just swivel or turn (variable standing desk).
Every few years, I get a wild hair to try a KVM again and within a day I'm cranky at the extra step.
