If you puree everything you can use a straw.

I don’t eat at my desk, just drink coffee.

Except my desk at work. I eat lunch there because I’m antisocial like that.

Worst thing I drink is water, I don’t even risk spills.

I don’t eat. But my good buddy Weiser has killed at least two keyboards.

This is the heart of the matter. Keyboards are merely consumables.

Depends on what you’re eating. My gear gets kind of filthy no matter what I do, gotta hit it with the degreaser every so often.

I don’t really snack and game. But chop sticks are a good choice if you want to enjoy something with a residue on it like a greasy chip or cheese puffs.

Tuesday is my clean the room with the PC day. It doesn’t matter if it got greasy because I’m not an animal and I clean.

I have a large desk, and I work from home. 90% of my life is spent in my office, we don’t own a dining room set because it seemed a pointless waste of money. We both eat at our desks, or on the couch when we watch TV.

Personally, I clean my keyboard every few weeks and have never had an issue. I have never spilled anything, or “killed” any peripherals. If I drop anything, it’s hitting my boobs before it goes anywhere near my desk.

The keyboard is not underneath me when I’m eating. Thus, the keyboard does not get dirty. I’m also never actively gaming while eating a meal. I’m always watching something, or sitting in a queue or something of that nature.

Also, I know how to use napkins.

My snacks are specifically chosen for the lack of mess they make so that when I am having munchies while gaming I don’t make a mess.

Also, vacuum cleaners are awesome.

My desk comes with a cup holder, and is big enough that I can have a plate on it, along with paper towels. So I never have grease.

I trust no napkin to withstand Queso flavored Ruffles.

says who? first off, you could use chopsticks if you really want to count what your eating, but I find opening the bag and pouring it in a much more efficient way, let gravity do what it was meant to.

Two words: Wet. Wipes.

I don’t eat grease?

If I’m snacking at my desk, it’s yogurt or a smoothie or some fruit.

My buddy was peering over my laptop while he drank from a two-liter bottle like an animal. He choked and spilled half the thing over it.

After letting the face dry out in the sun for most of the day, the only thing that didnt work was the enter key, but the one in the corner still worked fine.

I don’t worry about spills after an experience like that
