\u00a0I receive e-mail’s all the time requesting our WellConnectedMom team to evaluate a company’s tech products, gadgets, and gizmos. \u00a0So when a request came in for a PC keyboard, I barely looked at it…until I saw the word, “washable.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Washable? \u00a0Were they for real? \u00a0Soon after my response, I received a package in the mail from Logitech, complete with their Logitech Washable Keyboard K310<\/a> and a washcloth. \u00a0How cute. \u00a0(See, you can tell I really am a techie if I thought that was cute!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The keyboard looks quite different with its\u00a0elevated\u00a0white keys on a black board.<\/p>\n

Notice the back of the keyboard, there are drip holes and even an included brush to brush off crumbs or brush beneath the keys during its wash.<\/div>\n

Spills, A Worry of the Past?<\/span><\/h2>\n

I don’t know about you, but I’d have to say I’m a clutz. \u00a0I have probably spilled drinks on my keyboard at least 15 times in my life. \u00a0Spills included tea, coffee, water…and milk! \u00a0Yes,\u00a0milk, I’m an avid milk drinker, but let me tell you, milk is the LAST thing you want to pour on your keyboard. \u00a0The smell after it dries can be horrible. \u00a0I have spilled milk on my keyboard twice. \u00a0The second time it happened, I learned from the first and splashed water over it to help get the milk out…just hoping I wouldn’t destroy the keyboard in its entirety. \u00a0I didn’t destroy it, but keys did stick.<\/p>\n

I have a PC in my kitchen, that my kids use frequently. \u00a0I know it’s only a matter of time before they spill their drink on the keyboard. \u00a0This kitchen PC \u00a0is the perfect test for the new washable Logitech keyboard. \u00a0Although the kids have not yet spilled a drink on it, it’s only a matter of time. \u00a0Ugh!<\/p>\n

I video taped my experience of washing the keyboard for the first time. \u00a0I’ll tell you, it’s a little scary, it just goes so against what we all know about putting water on PC keyboards. \u00a0At the same time, it’s kind of liberating too!<\/p>\n
