1. Transparent keyboards and monitors and mice are absolutely gorgeous, yes - until they’re badly in need of a good cleaning. Dust and other crap show up even more when they’re accumulating on your shiny Studio Display or Apple Pro Keyboard, as pretty as they are, and when it’s almost six months’ worth of dust and other crap - look out.

2. After a pot of doublestrength coffee, it seems entirely reasonable for dusting my monitor to turn into an hour on the floor with my keyboard, popping out each key one by one and going at the whole thing with a handful of q-tips and an old Sephora makeup brush.

3. If you have the patience to actually sit and pop out every key on an Apple Pro Keyboard and go at it with a handful of q-tips and an old Sephora makeup brush, you will not be able to take your eyes off it when you’re done. It will gleam like you wouldn’t believe, and you’ll sit there admiring it for a good twenty minutes before you’re driven to scrub down your entire desk, to match the newfound cleanliness of your hardware.

4. Seriously, this is the sexiest keyboard on the god damned planet.

5. The monitor isn’t bad either.

6. After sitting on the floor with a keyboard for an hour, it doesn’t seem all that tiresome when a fuse blows and I end up going out in a thunderstorm to find a hardware store still open that sells fuses. It gets maybe a little tiresome when it gets to the part where I’m standing on a chair in my kitchen in the dark, trying to figure out which fuse blew and then change it by the light of an orange-scented candle.

7. Yes, rp, I realize that the rest of the planet has heard of a thing called a “circuit breaker.”
