How do you keep the grease off the keyboard?

Lotsa orange cleaner and shop rags. Actually I'm forever cleaning my hands
when I work on the cars. Too many things in, on and around the car that I
don't want getting a crudded up. Besides repairing my cars I also do all of
my own body work on the cars so I have what may be a heightened sensitivity
to greasy hands getting on things. I do print out some things in advance so
that I don't have to even open my laptop. But then again, to be honest, I
find that I only have to resort to documentation about 10% (crude guess) of
the time, so it's not a big deal.

Did you guys ever hear of surgical gloves? I use them in my garage, but
be careful NOT to get the ones with powder inside. I got that powder
once by accident and it made a worse mess on the keyboard than grease
would have :-)

I've tried them several different times - a few different types. I didn't
like them for one reason or another. Some weren't tight fitting and just
make everything a more clumsy process, others broke down when exposed to
solvents, etc. What type do you use that hold up well? I'd be happy to
find something that works. My day job does not allow for grease under the
fingernails, etc. and that's a big part of why I keep cleaning my hands so
frequently.

Right now I have Neoprene surgical gloves in my garage. They are not the
gloves I like the most, but are still good. I have the best ones at work,
and will get you the name of them when I return to work tomorrow. They are
fairly expensive, but worth every penny IMO.
