Have some folks looking at wedding pictures I shot for them on my computer at the moment, and I'm confronting how full of cat hair my computer keyboard truly is

My beloved flamepoint has been gone for 3 years now, and about every 6 months or so, more orange-tipped cream fur either surfaces or jams up my keyboard enough that I need to dredge it out. I have no idea how it fit under there and didn't all come out in the earlier cleanings.
I have contrived a cat-free space for my desktop by having a standing-height desk, and defending it aggressively with a squirt bottle. They've grudgingly given up, for the most part, though the younger one (Elvira, Mistress Of the Dark) still gives it a try occasionally.
i did the thing this morning and used the compressed air can to blow out my keyboard and eugh. i don't eat at my desk! how are there so many crumbs in there????
Battery died in my old car that I was going to donate to charity, so I’m just going to have to call NPR to come haul it away without taking it to the car vacuum place first. It’s about 10% dog hair.
I've got a little brush I keep close for my mechanical keyboard. The keyboard vaccuums just don't do the job, and the gels are great, but the brush is a daily thing thanks to the cats.
A great easy way to handle cat hair in keyboards and also your stack vents are those little fuzz-ended brushes sold as teeth flossers. I think GUM is the brand most commonly out there.
About 15 years ago, I had a Nikon D3 that developed an issue some Nikons' were known for- A little fogging in the left side of the back display. I decided to try my hand at opening it up, cleaning it and buttoning it back up. 4 hrs later, buttoned back up, sealed and there was a cat hair. It stayed.
My cat can't get onto my keyboard, so she just nudges me when my arm is outstretched. But anyway, she doesn't infest the keyboard with her lovely hair.
That sentence did not end up where I expected. Now wedding pictures will prompt images of cat hair in keyboards. (Correlation does not equal causation but forever creates stories.)

The coup de grâce happens at the end when it pushes a few hair balls onto the charging station thereby denying it sustenance.
