These wireless keyboards and mice can go in the dishwasher when they get grubby!
Seal Shield has just announced the launch of its Silver Surf family of waterproof, wireless keyboards and mice - thought to be the world's first wireless keyboards and mice that are fully submersible, dishwasher-safe and antimicrobial.
As recent studies have shown computer keyboards to be amongst the dirtiest surfaces in the home and office, harbouring, according to Dr. Charles Gerba of the University of Arizona, "400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat," this new range is likely to go down a storm!
"Silver Surf wireless keyboards and mice are easy to clean. They go straight from the desktop to the dishwasher and back again. There are no wires to disconnect, and no need to remove batteries for cleaning," says the manufacturer. "Regular cleaning in the sink or dishwasher can even help prevent the spread of germs, viruses and bacteria, which are known to collect on frequently touched surfaces."
The keyboard is a full function multimedia keyboard with integrated ergonomic wrist rest. It is available in 2.4GHz wireless and corded versions and is also offered with an optional, integrated Seal Pad touchpad pointing device for an all-in-one waterproof solution. It even works under water! The mouse is a fully submersible, washable laser device with a clever Seal Glide scroll feature. This uses touchpad technology and provides a natural and intuitive scroll solution for easy web site navigation. The high grade laser ensures accurate tracking on any surface, even for medical and gaming applications. The mouse is offered in 2.4 GHz wireless and corded versions.
In addition to being washable, this product range features Silver Seal antimicrobial protection. Unlike many antibacterial products, this utilises natural, pure silver ions which are embedded in high grade plastic to create a safe, effective, inorganic, antimicrobial solution. Silver Seal protection has been shown to safely inhibit microbial growth and reduce the spread of odour-causing bacteria.
"This new family of products is manufactured with the same medical grade, infection control technologies used in hospitals worldwide," states Seal Shield CEO, Brad Whitchurch. "The wireless design is ideal for the home or office, but the unique waterproof capabilities make the Silver Surf keyboards and mice the only choice for less traditional locations including the kitchen, bath, pool or spa."
