Logitech Releases Washable Keyboard
MrSeb writes "Logitech has released its first washable keyboard. We're not just talking about 'splash proof' either — you can take the K310, immerse it in up to 30cm of water (12in), and give it a good scrub. The only limitation is you can only use standard washing up liquid — oh, and Logitech says you should try to keep the USB connector out of the water, too. Once you've washed the keyboard, simply leave it to dry. The user guide says it takes eight hours to air dry, and that you shouldn't use a hair dryer. There are actually drainage holes on the backside of the K310, to help speed things along. This isn't the first washable keyboard — HP and Kensington have both had models on the market for a while — but the K310 does seem to be the first reasonably attractive, consumer-oriented washable keyboard. It goes on sale at the end of the month for $40."
Just checking.
... for when I'm wanting to use my computer while bathing. Accidentally dropping the keyboard won't cause catastrophe. But is it bluetooth?
File under 'M' for 'Manic ranting'
"honey"? Is that what kids call it these days?
Mmmm. I find that if I use a screw driver, the orange juice leaves a sticky residue which interferes with the keyboards function.
if you just use the vodka you get a much cleaner keyboard.
I dunno, when I use vodka my keyboard gets blurry.
Only at first. Drink much more and you're keyboard will get 'puky'. After that you'll want to clean it THOROUGHLY!
If they can make the USB connector detachable from this keyboard, then we do not need to worry about wetting the USB connector and ruin the whole thing
