USB Keyboard Vacuum

USBKeyboardVacuum_l.jpg

If you're the type to work, play, eat, and sleep at your laptop, you're likely to have some bits of food and lint stuck to your computer. However, with a USB keyboard vacuum, you don't need to worry about those cookie crumbs lodged beneath your letter "A" or the unsightly appearance of your morning toast hiding between the "alt" and "space bar" key. A steal at only 4.99, this vacuum from the Container Store comes with two attachments and plugs into your usb port. No batteries needed. Granted USB vacuums are nothing new, but when you find one this cheap it's hard not to ask yourself if being able to get those food particles out from underneath your keyboard isn't worth it. Though you probably won't give up snacking while surfing the web on your laptop, at least you can clean up the evidence afterwards.

I bought this in-store, and I cannot recommend it. It was basically useless - not enough suction power.

Ross:

You get what you pay for with this. They had these at Linens and things for 5 bucks and it's not worth the plastic it's made of. Skip this and get a can of compressed air...

Same here, bought several of them because they looked useful. You can get a little more suction if you remove the filter; not good for it, so buy a lot of them. Removing the attachments and the attached rubber flap on the inside helps too.

It doesn't just suck, it doesn't suck! Hey that was funny.
