This weekend as I was planning out my Thanksgiving menu, I tried out something new that a friend gave me - a wireless washable keyboard.  It was the coolest new kitchen gadget I have tried since my micro plane!

I was able to research recipes for Thanksgiving right in the middle of the kitchen while I was making Sunday dinner.  And I didn’t have to worry about getting the keyboard wet or dirty - I just chopped, sliced, stirred…and typed.  It was great!  When I was finished, I was able to wash my keyboard along with everything else - right in my kitchen sink!   I just looked up the keyboards and you can get them at WETKEYS.com.  They’re inexpensive, cool and really efficient - so all my friends and family are getting them for Christmas.

The CDC, Google and all the medical authorities are talking about the importance of getting your flu immunizations this year.  It’s true.  We should - don’t let flu season catch you off guard.  What they don’t tell you are other ways to keep yourself safe and healthy.

I work in a hospital, and it’s not just the flu we need to worry about, it’s all the other germs, too - like MRSA and other forms of staph.  These infections are readily spread if we don’t take the right precautions.  Sure, we wash our hands and wear gloves.  But there are other things to be careful of.  One thing that we have found are these new computer keyboards from WETKEYS - you can wash them.  Who knew?!  The things we touch all day long can now be cleaned to stop the spread of germs.  They’re made of flexible silicone and allow us to easily sanitize keyboard surfaces by dipping them in disinfectant.  Now you can immunize AND sanitize.

WOW!  Flu season is all over the news these days.  I just opened the New York Times and there’s a front page story.  There’s lots of talking about ways to prevent from getting the flu, except for a brand new product on the market:  cleanable computer keyboards.

We use our computers every day, and touch our keyboards all day long.  But we don’t stop to think that we can catch the flu from them.  Well, yes we can - especially if we share computers.  Cleaning keyboards is tough, because it’s hard to get around and under the keys.  And, you don’t want to ruin it by getting it wet.  Now, though, with WETKEYS cleanable keyboards, you can wash them right in the sink!  Now that’s an easy way to stay healthy this flu season.  Check them out - they’re a great price, too!

I have to admit, I’ve never been a fan of wireless anything.  I’m the guy that finds out nothing works like it’s suposed to unless I design it, fix it or make it myself.  So when we first started looking at prototypes I knew it needed more adjustments.  We finally made it the way we needed it to work for our own use before making it available to everyone else.

Our first customers have all written emails to us RAVING about the new WETKEYS wireless silicone keyboard.  And yes, this is the first one of its kind, so “DukeMed” is right - it’s not available anywhere else.  Thanks for the huge compliments!

I just bought the new wireless washable silicone keyboard at WETKEYS.com and I can’t believe how great it is!  It rolls up like all the other flexible silicone keyboards but it looks and feels a lot higher quality - and it’s WIRELESS! 

 The battery compartment is ingenious because the whole thing is sealed but the batteries can be easily changed while the keyboard is completely wet.  No water can get inside of it even while you change the batteries.  I’m pretty sure this is a “world’s first” because I’ve been looking all over for something like it and nothing even comes close - I found out it just came out about 2 weeks ago.  Everyone is defintely going to want these, just wait until you try it!

I came into the office this morning, and my nurse assistant had a new silicone keyboard from WETKEYS in our waiting room.  I asked what it was, and she just rolled it up, took it to the sink and started rinsing it under the faucet with our medical soap.  She then patted it dry and placed it back on the counter and started typing again.  I was blown away!

I’ve never seen anything like it before, but it’s a great tool.  It helps reduce the spread of infections to our patients, especially now during flu season.  So, I ordered one and a washable mouse for everyone in the office.  They have a deal on combo packs, so I saved some money.  It’s the best investment I’ve made in a while.

I need a keyboard that can take a lot of wear and tear. I write for a living, so that means I am constantly pounding out the vowels and adjectives on my work keyboard. If I feel frustrated my keyboard experiences the brunt of it. Or, if I am in a hurry I tend to hit the keys much harder than I would normally.

When researching keyboards I found that the solid silicone varieties are the most durable. These keyboards are food proof, flexible, and practically indestructible. That’s exactly what I need since I often work through lunches and spend late nights writing to meet deadlines. A durable keyboard will also save me money in the long run.

Did you know that your phone and your desk are the most germ-ridden locations in your workplace? A recent study showed that office phones and desktops have 400 times more germs than toilet seats. When you hold your phone receiver to your face you are exposing your self to Staphylococcus bacteria, and your face could erupt in pimples because of it.

Every time you type on your keyboard and then scratch that itch on your lip you are spreading harmful germs to your mouth. Those germs can invade your system and result in illnesses like the common cold, the flu, or worse. It’s your responsibility to sanitize keyboard. Just because a cleaning crew cleans the rest of your office at night doesn’t mean they touch anything on your desk.

Don’t you just hate it when your keyboard needs to retire even after a few uses? A keyboard would be useless even if it’s just one key that isn’t working right.

Replacing a cheap low-quality keyboard every so often can even cost more than getting a heavy-duty keyboard. With a heavy-duty keyboard, at least you are assured that it will last longer and it won’t fail you.

Working on the computer all day, especially if your job entails you to type on the keyboard a lot, can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. This syndrome occurs when the median nerve is impinged and the fingers feel numb. There could also be a tingling sensation.

To prevent this, one must know the correct way to position his or her hands while typing. It also helps if one uses a flexible keyboard because it is softer than an ordinary plastic keyboard.
