LOL!
Dust is amazingly adaptive entity.
While I realize you are talking about keyboards, musical.....My
computer keyboard has a unique ability to accumulate dust in
record time it would seem. I have a Logitech G510 which has
lighted keys. Since during the week, I usually don't get to my
computer until after dinner, I have a tendency to simply operate
by the light of the monitor and the keyboard having lit
keys...Kind of like being in a movie theater. I do have an over
head light in the room....But I hate, detest, overhead lights.
When the weekend rolls around, it's astonishing how dirty the
keyboard is, how much dust has accumulated between the keys.
I keep an air tank in the music/computer room just for that
purpose.
Also, the last guitar I play stays out of the case, and there
will be dust on the peghead. it drives me a bit bonkers. years
ago, I ripped out the 1" filter racks and put in 2" racks so I
can use thick air filters, but alas....The Dust Abides.
I wish I had simply pursued the instrument I always wanted to
play. Drums. Throw a sheet over them and you're good.
My parents would not abide drums...A flat NO.

The Non-Believers permeate the Blogosphere.
Dinkleberg...Do produce some Microscopic images of keyboard
dirt, dust and grime, that we may assuage the doubts of our
Brother forum member and musical traveler.
Forgive me...This whole time change thing has me feeling
sarcastic and testy.

Regarding dust, you guys would not want to look too carefully
around my house. The cleanness thing was not instilled in me. I
will say that all through my adult life I've observed people who
keep their car spotless inside and out. Also their living
space. Often, I've also observed that these many of the same
people treat their bodies like garbage cans - consuming fatty
and sugary foods with little thought. I've always been the
opposite. At least since about age 20. I figure you can
always go back and clean the dirt off in one's car or home, but
we're sort of stuck with our body (at least until Elon Musk
innovates a mind/new body transfer).
Regarding the time change, the Florida legislature is working on
legislation to make daylight savings time permanent all year.
So we'd have our watches set 1 hour ahead all year long. Same
effect as simply getting up and going to work an hour earlier.
This would put us out of sync with the rest of the country (like
Arizona - they ignore daylight savings time). I expect the idea
is that hopefully the rest of the states would eventually do
permanent DST. But if they didn't, we'd be the oddball state.

Ahh, if only it were mere dust I speak of. :D
My studio contents get dusted regularly, either with a Swiffer
or sometimes with the vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment.
What I cleaned off, I am somewhat ashamed to say, was 6 or 7
years worth of finger grime. Stuff we used to call "worm sweat"
back when I worked in an electronics repair shop.
This bar cloth was reasonably white before I started this worthy
endeavour. Blech..... :o

'Worm Sweat"...That's a keeper expression If'n ever I heered
one. ;D
I think the Rolling Stones named an album after that condition.
::)
I think the FunkTowel is sufficient evidence to alleviate any
calls for "Pics or it didn't happen".
I had a coupla Roland Juno Synths once upon a time...I miss
having a keyboard to tinker with.
All i have now is one of these...
