Look, we all know the memes and YouTube comedy skits that are out there about what lives upon the surface of the humble, often overused gaming keyboard.
For myself, I have come to accept that I am ultrasonic and violent, fan-cleaning the cat hair out of my keys and keyboard weekly, but I draw the line at eating around my precious keys.
It’s not something I particularly enjoy doing, that is, until the RGBs shine satisfactorily through. But now Doritos wants to reward us for wiping cat hair, food, and other things you should probably keep to yourself off your own keys.
From now through April 16, with no purchase necessary, you can wipe down your keys and submit the “gibberish” for a chance to instantly win prizes.
Doritos says that each entry is randomized, with instant-win rewards seeded throughout the contest, and prizes being gaming peripherals, bags of chips, and even a gaming laptop. You can enter up to three times a day.
I will say that I am a little confused, as I wiped my gibberish into the required field once and was told all three of my tries for the day have been used, with a message of “All wipes used. Try again tomorrow.” Being displayed. So, it’s either broken or I lost today. I am leaning towards the latter outcome.
I’ve got to hand it to Doritos; they’ve come up with a jab at us gamers that feels like a harsh poke at our keys, but with an element of reward. Best use of gross gamer advertising since Xbox’s “Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner” anti-slip controller? I think yes!
