    This article is way out of date, most keyboards aren't worth money anymore - they're disposable items. I buy a new one every few months because keep smashing the old one's - its a great tension relief, especially for Windows. Just find a cheap brand of keyboard that you like the feel of and keep buying the same one, theres no need for this fancy crap.

    That's why I usually turn my keyboard upside down before I lay a line on it, sniff, and turn it back again.

    I bust my boyfriend like this all the time.

    Mouseclicks.

    Searching.

    Mouseclicks followed by uncertain typing.
    Translation:
    searching password site, found one, trying to remember logon and password.

    Mouseclicks followed by distinct double-key.
    Translation:
    searching password site, found one, trying to
    ctrl-V the password in so I dont get suspicious.

    One Mouseclick followed by confident typing.

    The one site he actually subscribes to.

    Almost no mouseclicks or typing at all, but the sound of the scrollbar.
    Translation:
    He got a winner. Time to wander in sleepy-eyed and innocently ask if he's coming to bed.

    He now says that he's learned women are NEVER asleep. No matter how much you think we are.
