I have a Razer Marauder keyboard, it glows and has pretty big spaces in between the keys. So about three days ago, I was surfing TL like usual before I go to sleep, when I see something on my keyboard, All the lights in the room were off, so the the only light was the keyboard and my monitor, so i look down, and there he is, eating some sticky stuff on the delete key, so my immediate reaction was to try to kill him, but when my hand was going towards him he ran in one of the spaces under the key.

and whats even worse, is i think he had BABIES, there are a bunch of super little cockroach babies running around by my keyboard, and inside it.

Im pretty sure hes eating the stuff on my keyboard tho, all the sticky stuff on the delete key, the f12 key, and the screen lock key is completely gone.

So should i them be? I mean, they are cleaning it up and eating all the stuff and food inside it.

Or should i kill them? and if i choose that option, How would i kill them? Bug killer? or what?

plz help

Ok that sound kind of weird... What you could try (not very familiar with Razer Marauder) is remove all the keys from your keyboard if it lets you do that and try and clean it carefully. If that doesn't work I'd suggest you go to the store and ask for some bug poison that isn't dangerous for your own health or the hardware.

Unplug the keyboard, then dip it in isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), preferably with an alcohol content above 70%. Then take apart the keyboard and clean out the dead bugs. If you can't do that, just use a lot of q-tips to clean it and a lot more rubbing alcohol.

To be helpful why not buy some sort of roach trap and put it by the keyboard.

You remember the movie Office Space, and what they did to the fax machine?
I think you are going to have to do that.

Just pull out the keys and prepare a box of q-tips and tissues.
