It may come as no surprise to many of you out there, but I’m what’s technically referred to as a slob. I keep myself clean, my clothes clean, and my car clean, but outside of those three things, I pretty much don’t care. I’ve been known to eat Cheetos while typing to the point that you can’t read the letters on the key tops because of the thick cheesy coating.
I once did that on my wife’s keyboard she didn’t appreciate it all, she really didn’t like the fact that I simply licked the cheese off when she complained either. If you want a keyboard that you can wash safely without worrying the letters will wipe off when you clean it with water – or stop working altogether, Logitech has a new washable keyboard called the K310. This is perfect for messy people and germophobes.
The keyboard is designed with programmable function keys, media control keys, and a number pad. The keyboard has drain holes in the back to help water dry and the keyboard can be submerged in water up to 11 inches deep as long as you keep the USB cable dry. The keyboard will hit the US this month for $39.99(USD). Of course nothing they can do can prevent this from happening.
If there was one particular group of people who love the Logitech Washable Keyboard K310, it would most probably be folks who tend to eat while they work. Not everything that can be eaten is shoveled into your mouth using a utensil like a fork or a spoon, as there is this thing known as finger food. A slice of pizza always tastes a whole lot better when you eat using your hands, and to wash your fingers after each bite so that you can return to your work is quite the hassle, leaving you with a completed dissertation at the end of the day, albeit that comes with a price as well – a greasy keyboard.
We have an unidentified Wi-Fi connected camera from Logitech that has just made its way over to the FCC, where it was labelled as the Logitech Broadcaster. A wee bit of snooping around revealed that the Logitech Broadcaster could very well be able to have its camera work without the need for any cables – similar to how Livestream’s Broadcaster (how ironic, they share the same moniker as well) add-on. Of course, let us keep our fingers crossed for Logitech’s sake that the Logitech Broadcaster will not suffer the same fate as that of the FlipLive cams. Basically, this FCC approved device will connect via a Wi-Fi network, but we have no idea on how it will be juiced – perhaps through an internal battery, or a power adapter? I guess since it has already hit the FCC, it is only a matter of time before it will hit the market assuming Logitech sees that there is enough consumer population who will buy into the idea.
