They had them on the teachers work station at school, I didn't like the tactile feel and just removed it while working with the keyboard. Since you are used to a laptop keyboard you should test drive a Apple AL keyboard, much less of a problem than with the chicklet keyboards.
Having said that at my home workstation I hold mine upside down over a sink and blow it out with compressed air from an air compressor, not canned air. I am always amazed at what comes out. I do that every 6 months or so. And, I don't eat at my desktop workstation!
On a side note, I would always use a sanitary wipe on any public keyboard that I would use. I have seen many keyboard combinations involving hands, runny noses, keyboard, if you get my drift! We had them for free at school and hardly one out of ten would use them.
