Waterproof and Washable PC Keyboards - Keep those germs at bay!
By: Phil Battison
One of the things often overlooked in all the discussions about sensible measures to protect yourself from the transfer or germs is a PC keyboard. Whilst many keyboards are personal and typically only used by a dedicated person its not uncommon for keyboards in general use to carry and pass on germs, bacteria etc.
If you think about it during the course of the day we touch thousands of different objects that other people will have touched and handled. We then merrily sit down at a PC type away. With more and more people also eating and drinking at their desk spillages, crumbs, the occasional sneeze is an everday occurance. The keyboard then becomes an excellent breeding ground for bacteria, in fact, quite a lot of bacteria. US Studies have shown that there are at typically 510 bacteria per cm2 on a keyboard.
Whilst a regular USB PC Keyboard can be cleaned in areas of heavy use it might be worth considering a waterproof and washable keyboard. These waterproof keyboards have the benefit of being reistant to sprays and detergents. They can be washed under running water and they are totally waterproof. As such a Waterproof USB keyboard is ideal for use in Hospitals, GP and dental surgeries, libraries, industrial areas etc.
Another added benefit of the washable PC keyboards is that they are flexible - they can be rolled up and stored away. Handy if you need a full sized keyboard in the field where you might be subject to the weather and dirty conditions. Sometimes referred to as Airtouch Keyboards these USB Flexible keyboards are excellent in a range of conditions.
