Why Do You Need a Waterproof Keyboard?

A waterproof keyboard is essential for environments where spills, splashes, or moisture are common, whether it’s a medical facility, laboratory, industrial workspace, food service setting, or even a home office prone to coffee mishaps.  Sealed components and easy-to-clean surfaces, help prevent damage from liquids and minimizes downtime, while supporting hygiene and durability.

In medical offices, hospitals, laboratories, and dental clinics, quality and value in keyboards used in operating/exam rooms and sterilization areas need withstand repeated cleaning with harsh disinfectants.  “Antimicrobial” and “dishwasher-safe” keyboards are not practical for busy clinical environments.  They take too long to be effectively cleaned, they don’t eliminate build-up of bio-contaminants, and they are ineffective in areas where there is low humidity.  They also require additional staffing, resources, and downtime of a workstation waiting for the keyboard to go through a wash cycle.

The only way to keep a keyboard germ-free is to clean it after each use with a disinfectant, and the only kind of keyboards that will hold up to the strong chemicals in disinfectants is one from Man & Machine.  Our keyboards can be customized with options like backlight, built-in magnets, and custom cable lengths to complement any workspace.
