... that dropping sun flower seeds into your mechanical keyboard may keep the keys from fully depressing?
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Happy keys, indeed!
In my experience, pieces of rheophores do the trick as well.

Maybe an article on that would be appropriate?

If you hit the offending key with a hammer hard enough it will pulverize the seeds. 
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Coke, or coffee with sugar does a better job.
I have about seventeen extra keyboards just in case. 
I didn't do it, I swear.

This is actually not a bad suggestion. As long as you allow it to dry completely before applying any power to it.

I recently signed up for an account on a very large investment / bank platform and they have the following password requirements (which are mostly stupid) -- see snapshot[^]
The requirement I'd like to talk about (which is obviously arbitrary) is :
Special characters except for # & * < > ( ) ' [ ]
Also, note, there aren't too many "special chars" left after all those are removed. 
This is obviously arbitrary and the developers of that site & the password requirements decided not to allow common characters which would cause them problems when parsing the password string.
I'm wondering what constitutes a "special character"?
1. Above ascii 127 (even though surely sites use UTF-8 character encoding now?
2. If that is true, then would any emoji (π€π¦π¦π»π») count as a "special char"?
3. Anything that isn't alphanumeric?
4. Arbitrary : defined by each site you visit. DING! DING! DING! We have us a winner!!! 
Length, Most Important Password Requirement
They have a max of 20 which is ridiculous.
I'm guessing that is related to the algorithm they use to parse your incoming password -- especially since the last requirement is:
No sequences (e.g. 12345 or 111)
I'm guessing that since extremely long passwords would take their algorithm longer to search for sequences they decide not to allow long passwords. 
Doesn't pass the sniff test.

I just counted the special characters on my keyboard - 32 of them. The bank isn't allowing 10 of them.
123456789 123456789 123456789 12 <= Counter
`~!@#$%^&*()_-+={[}]|\:;"'<,>.?/
Their allowable character set contains 74 characters. The issue is many people forget about some of the common characters that aren't alphabetic and only think about the characters on the top row of the keyboard.
