Anyone with kids, or perhaps a job where you eat at your desk, knows
that food and keyboards don’t mix. In fact, they can get pretty sticky
and crumb-filled if you don’t clean them regularly. Besides using a gas
duster or wiping it with an electronics-friendly cloth, there’s no easy
way to thoroughly sanitize your keyboard.
Enter Logitech‘s
Washable Keyboard K310, unveiled on Wednesday. It has the familiar
layout of the Logitech keyboards you may already use, but this one can
take a dip in water. You can rinse it in the kitchen sink or wipe it
with a wet cloth. Not only can the keyboard be submerged up to 11 feet,
it dries easily, too.
The keyboard can handle plenty of washing and use, according to
Logitech. Characters are laser-printed and UV-coated, so they don’t fade
after a cleaning. Holes in the back of the keyboard let water escape
easily, and air enter, to dry every part. The keyboard is also simple to
set up: Just plug it in, and you’re ready to work.
It’s compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
The Logitech
Washable Keyboard K310 is expected to be available across the U.S.
starting in August for a suggested retail price of $39.99. It will be
available in Europe this October.
