Washable keyboard for healthcare settings

The J84-2800 washable keyboard features a fully-sealed rubber casing for rinsing and total immersion. This allows healthcare users to wash the keyboard with hospital-grade disinfectants and commercial antibacterial wipes. The completely sealed keyboard is easy to clean, even between keys, and has no gaps for bacteria and infection traps. The “Clean” key prevents data from being sent while the keyboard is wiped down, allowing users to perform infection-control procedures at any interval with minimal downtime, while the user is notified of “lock-down mode” by flashing LEDs.
