I do this with my desktop keyboard. But I can't bang on my laptop, it would not survive it... so I just turn it upside down and vacuum it..
I clean it after I play with my camera and take some shots of the keyboard. The photos (with flash) show me that it is so disgusting and full of trash that I just must clean it

I used to do this, but then the keyboard almost never worked correctly after I put it back together. 
Now I just turn it upside down and bang on it until the crumbs stop falling out.

I think it is a good practice to clean keyboard throughly at least once in a week .. And this can be very well at the time when you are bugged with typing and typing the code or anything else

True. Hit (Windows + L) to lock the workstation. Then to tilt the keyboard up and down, hither and thither and to puff air over the keyboard through its various vents and ducts as if they are candles and we are in a birthday party mood.

Whenever you type, or rub some key on your keyboard, you actually clean it.
Why on earth spend (valuable) spare time in doing it?
It's only dirty enough after several years (about the time to get replacements).
Keyboards aren't supposed to be worshipped, they're supposed to be replaced...

Or how about the following Clean Processes in place?
1) Wear Hand Gloves
2) Close your Nostrils with Surgeons-like Caps (I don't recall the exact word for this.  )
3) Remove your shoes before entering your desktop place. Even today, many places in Chennai where just a few computers are installed have a board "Computer Room. Shoes Outside".

The electronic desktop penetration is still not compelling in many government offices in India. They still feel that these are too 'high-over-the-head' gadgets and maintain a good hill and valley difference to the normal staff and IT staff.
Perhaps that is the reason, I feel, they keep and maintain such an elevated levels of isolation.

Isn't it frustrating to wash your hands just to get them dirty again on that filthy keyboard?

I bring coffee and soft drinks to my computer only. My keyboard always gets a share of it.

Funny - I was just eating some chex mix, which is a regular breakfast food for me. I happened to look at my keyboard a while ago and thought maybe I should blow out the crumbs that have accumilated. Then I see this week's survey. Someone trying to tell me something?
