My fucking tea...

[Rude-Awakening]

...broke my keyboard and now I have to use the abomination that is the On-screen keyboard.

Seriously, just try it.

[The3DragonsGroup]

OK, I'll try it.fsdfsdf epoi femifedfg.s''twotrq[rqwe

[Scarface]

Using this thing sucks ass.

[Peglay]

Takes forever to write something with this thing :(

[Xyresic]

this thing isn't so bad... only took slighly longer to type than it would normally. don't think i'd want to use it long term though...

I didn't quite manage to break my keyboard, but I spilt some hot chocolate on it, and they keys have white back lighting. Some of my keys now have back lighting with a slight tint of brown. It's worse since this is a laptop and I can't really replace the keyboard too easily. My attempts at cleaning didn't achieve much either.

I had to do the same shit when my exgirlfriend spilled beer all over the keyboard, the clumsy bitch ruined my laptop for good, only a half year into college and a brand new lap top at the time. Had to use that on screen shit for 3 months.

My o key is busted so I have to copay and paste to use o.

I broke all the vowels and the "d" key once.
Do you know how many words have vowels? FUCKING ALL OF THEM.

Not the word rhythm. There's no vowels there.

A,E,I,O,U, and sometimes Y.

Key phrase there. SOMETIMES Y.

Go to poundland and get some "goop", I think it's called. It's a putty-like substance, which you press onto the keyboard and when you remove it, it takes the dirt with it.

I've got the firebox link, but I think you can get a pot for a pound, if you're on a budget.

Why the fuck do you remind me of Ashens on YouTube, Coop? Always talking about poundland!

[Atypop]

Y is so fucking unreliable.

[Cootie]

I have used the thing before and it takes forever to type anything on it. Sorry about that clumsiness you have.

[Liquid5150]

This is not hard just slow as hell.

[Denton]

On screen keyboard?

[Ericho]

You should be lucky you do not have a laptop. My brother spilled an Italian Ice on his laptop and he was simply unable to use the screen thing, so he had to go out and buy a new one. Keep in mind that this new one cost over six hundred dollars and now he has less than $25.00 in his entire account! Makes me think about how I keep saving money in hopes of getting a laptop but will then be flat broke after buying it.

[SouthAsian]

on screen keyboard!?

[therealanimator]

ebay mah boy go buy a second hand keyboard

[Reici]

It beats the iPad keyboard.

[razorbladesigh]

Oh god this sucks.

[CapnTater]

Why are you complaining so much? Its not that hard to use.

[R3DPhoenix]

This thread implies you are blaming the lovely, hot tea.
That, good sir, is unacceptable!

[Goggle]

I'd rather not type on it, but in the past I have done and although the fact you're forced to hunt and peck, rather than getting the touch-typing feel of fluency, it isn't the speed that annoys me, it's just that I'm not used to it. I'd still suggest saving up for a new keyboard, though.

[sweet21]

i don't even know how to use the on screen keyboard!

I appreciate the advice Coop, but I'm not sure it would work. When I remove the key from the keyboard, there is a thin, transparent sheet of plastic underneath, which to the best of my knowledge is non-removable. The remaining hot chocolate is basically trapped under that film and I have no way to really get at it without tearing it.

The colour has started to fade quite a bit now and it's not all that noticeable, but it's still mildly annoying. I'll take another look at it and try to work out if your suggestion might work.

[Oolaph]

I'm actually quite skilled with an on-screen keyboard, thanks to that year when I had to use my Wii to browse the internet.
