Logitech launches washable computer keyboard

August 23, 2012

CALIFORNIA, Aug 23 — Logitech is launching a new type of computer keyboard that is both water- and dust-resistant, which makes it easy to wash and dry.

The Logitech Washable Keyboard K310 can be soaked in 11 inches (28cm) of water, as long as you keep its USB cable dry. Its special drainage holes get rid of the remaining water when it dries.
