Logitech Unveils Washable Keyboard K310

Today, Logitech unveiled the latest in its line of PC keyboards, the Logitech Washable Keyboard K310. As stated in the name, the keyboard can be hand-washed and submerged (with the exception of the USB cable) in up to 11 inches of water.





Convenient drainage holes at the back of the keyboard allow for easy drying while key characters are laser printed and UV coated to help ensure the letters don't fade in the wash. Plus, the keys can last up to five million keystrokes, according to the press release.



The novelty comes complete with F-keys and a number pad, and is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. It has twelve hotkeys: for launching Web browser and email client, controlling audio, etc.

The Logitech Washable Keyboard K310 is expected to be available in the U.S. beginning in August and Europe beginning in October 2012, for a suggested retail price of $39.99.
