Logitech unveils washable keyboard

The new Logitech washable keyboard K310 can be referred to as ‘A life saver’ for most computer users the world over as computers are being relied on most time, with so much care in mind in terms of spillages which may occur thereby danaging the keyboard especially but no matter how careful one can be accidents do happen.

With the arrival of the Logitech Washable Keyboard one can simply wash away the liquid perils that threaten to damage the equipment.

This durable full-size PC keyboard can endure more than just a light dusting. Users can rinse the K310 in the sink or even submerge it (excluding the USB cable) in up to 28cm of water. Drainage holes on the back help it to dry out, while the keys are laser printed and UV coated so that they won’t fade in the wash. This extra protection also means that they are built to last for up to 5m keystrokes.

The familiar keyboard layout comes complete with F-keys and a number pad, plus 12 hot keys for instant access to most-used applications. No software set-up is required, users simply plug in and type.

The K310 is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 and is expected to be available in Europe from October 2012.

Panic sets in when a cup of coffee or a soda spills all over our keyboard, which is why Logitech designed the Logitech Washable Keyboard K310 to look and function like new, even over time.” said Sophie Le Guen, senior director of mice and keyboards at Logitech.
