Cleankeys Touch Sensitive Keyboard

Did you know that your run of the mill keyboard is basically a gigantic apartment complex for bacteria? Gross, no? Thankfully there’s Cleankeys, a keyboard that bulldozes that shit and replaces it with a sleek, sterile touch-sensitive slab. Wiping a standard keyboard with a disinfecting cloth kills about 5% of bacteria. Cleankeys claims the same test kills 99% of bacteria on their keyboard, simply because they have nowhere to hide. The wireless keyboard trades actual keys for touch-sensitive ones, so in exchange for a much more sanitary experience you’ll be giving up that satisfying clickity-clack you’ve grown accustomed to. It’s intended for use at hospitals where keyboard-germs are a serious issue, though I’d imagine it might pique the interest of regular old germaphobes too.

The Cleankeys keyboard includes a trackpad for clicking about and uses patent-pending technology to keep it from registering keystrokes when you’re just resting your hands on the thing. That way your doctor doesn’t accidentally diagnose you with alsdfjasgyboxicyuixccccccccc. A molded model costs $400 and a glass version will run you $50 more. No one said your campaign against germs was gonna be cheap.
