Seal-Shield has created the world's first fully-submersible, dishwasher-safe keyboard.[/p] It was first developed for use in a hospital setting, but CEO Brad Whitchurch says it's perfect for office and home use as well, because keyboards are a breeding ground for bacteria no matter where they're located.[/p] Bacteria aside, the keyboard is also impervious to pop spills and crumbs from your co-worker's lunch. What's more, its keys are all etched, not painted, so the letters won't rub off over time.[/p] The complete package, which includes a waterproof mouse and anti-bacterial mouse bad, retails for a $100 US.[/p] [/div]
