No mess, no fuss.

Grab your rubber gloves and scrubbers, people! Logitech has just unveiled its new “ultra durable” washable keyboard, the K310.

Oh, it’s happened to all of us at one time or another – you know, The Spill. It might be beer, or some soup, or… something else. I’m not judging you, we’re all human and we all have needs, and I also like my Camembert a bit on the runny side. Yes, runny Camembert. What did you think I meant?

“We’ve all experienced that moment of distraction – followed by panic, when a cup of coffee or a soda spills all over your keyboard,” said Sophie Le Guen, senior director of mice and keyboards at Logitech. “Because life and its messes will happen, regardless of how careful you are, Logitech designed the Logitech Washable Keyboard K310 to look and function like new, even over time.”

The keyboard can be submerged in up to 28cm of water and washed with soap to get rid of any unwanted DNA evidence. Yes, cheese is basically bacteria, and bacteria have DNA. What did you think I meant?

It’s already shipping out in the US for $40 (±330), and is expected to be available everywhere else in October.
