Keyboard cleaning worm:
Keyboards seem to have an unnatural ability to fill up with dust, and have crumbs and hairs build up underneath the keys – and it can be a real bother taking off all the keys – risking breaking them and so forth. Even the small suction devices that some companies provide do not tend to work very well.
As such NovaCorp developed the keyboard cleaning worm. The worm is a thin metallic vaguely worm like construction, of silver coloured skin around a centimetre and a half long but only a millimetre wide. Underneath its body is a hundred little legs placed much like a millipedes, and directly underneath its belly are fine bristles which extend down to the floor.
Its head is the most important thing however which consists of a chemical sensor, several small scraping devices and a cutting device. These are all build around its ‘mouth' which is a relatively powerful suction device which pulls debris in to its body – where it is stored.
The worm is kept in a small box (around one inch long by half an inch wide) where its batteries are restored by a solar panel on the top – after fully exhausting its hour long battery it requires two hours of light to regain complete power. When the worm is to be used it should be put next to the keyboard in question and switch on the right hand side is to be flicked. At this point the front of the box opens and the worm emerges and beings hunting out those things which are in its list of things to search for – dust, various forms of food, chocolate, hair and so forth. In the mean time its chest bristles are constantly running across the floor and its mouth is constantly sucking – clearing the incidental dirt. Once it encounters a hair it will break it down in to manageable portions to be sucked in to its chest. For a bit of chocolate or food it will be broken down or scraped off the surface before being sucked in. When its power begins to run low, or when a radio signal is emitted from its box (by pressing a switch at the back) the worm returns to the box (as guided by a radio signal). It the proceeds to regurgitate its contents outside the box – the disposal of this is up to the owner. Retreating in to the box it then waits to be used for the next time.
Price: 3ks.
