I just did a really stupid thing, i had a candle going and i accidently hit it and it went all over the place, do you think this will cause any longterm damage?

Are you sure you didn't made the same mistake as that discussed here: Please let there never be a post on here like this one.... ?

lol, no, as you can see, its a light brown color, and it really is wax, not a hoax, although it only got on the special function keys, so i can still type on it. But now my monitor also looks like crap

cant you just wait until it dries and then scape it off with scissors, or did i just say something really stupid?

[-0MEGA-]

it would seem like a good idea, but when i take a razor blade it only takes off very small pieces, and it scratches the keyboard. If you use ice cubes then it would come off easier, but i cant do that on a keyboard. So im gonna just deal with it until i need a new keyboard.

I've heard you can put keyboards through the dishwasher and it won't hurt anything as long as they dry out well enough before you use them again.

You can get rid of that wax heating up the keyboard (only until the melting point of the wax) and wiping it with a soft cloth. It would be better if you take apart the keyboard first.

Why would he be lying?

that sux, and its most likely going to stain the plastic the color of the wax. pop all the keys off and wash them off, i do it all the time. just watch out for the longer more rectangular keys. in fact, just leave them in.
