Germs Beware: Dishwasher-Safe Wireless Keyboard Unveiled at CES

It's no secret that your keyboard is one of the most germ-ridden portions of your office cubicle. That's been shown at least twice (probably more), in various studies. And at gadget-crazy CES, Seal Shield unveiled its new line of dishwasher-safe products, including a wireless keyboard.

They also introduced a dishwasher-safe wireless mouse and TV and home theater remotes.

Seal Shield already had keyboards, mice and even antimicrobial pens in its product line, but the remotes and wireless devices are all new. The new line will not be available until March, according to Seal Shield. See this Washable Wireless Keyboard From Seal Flex at Reizit.com.

While a niche product for consumers, you can see how popular, or even necessary, these sorts of computer peripherals would be for the medical field.

For me, I'm happy to see the company move away from oversized Enter keys to the more standard IBM style Enter keys. I simply won't use anything else (not that I would buy these anyway).

The rather disgusting nature of office keyboards have been outlined previously in both a 2002 Clorox study and a 2008 Which? study.
