The swine flu has become the hot story.  Everywhere you look there’s discussion of the flu, how it spreads, and how to protect yourself and others.  The major key to all these efforts is hygiene.  Specifically, cleaning up after your sneeze or cough.

Everyone says to smother your sneezes or coughs with your sleeve, a tissue, or your hand, but what if you work in an office environment and thus have your hands attached to a keyboard all day?  Wouldn’t your keyboard pick up all those horrible germs, plus any and all leftover dribbles of food, cookie crumbs, and snarfed soda?  Of course it would, that’s why you need a washable keyboard.

Firebox has a washable, waterproof USB keyboard for $58.  Not only can you toss it into the washing machine when it gets grungy, it also features Silver Seal technology to retard the growth of gross, sickness-causing bacteria.  So if you tip over that cup of coffee, no worries!  Sneeze all over the keyboard if you want!
