Wetkeys Keyboard: For the clumsy and social, recreational swimmers.

Some of us somehow missed out on the common sense bus that passed by each of our hospital rooms at birth. Why it skipped some and made extra long stops at others is unknown. But the fact the matter is, if you’re going to have liquids near a computer, put them on a different plane at least so that you’ll have a few extra seconds to save your precious electronics in the event of a spill. If that seems like to much work or you like to go swimming with your keyboard, fix your gaze above at the “Wetkeys” keyboard.

Besides being immune to the now common coffee/cola spill that claims so many electronic lives, one other benefit of the Wetkeys is the ability to get a thorough washing when the dirt and grime of your greasy digits becomes to much to handle. A simple dunk in water or run it through the dishwasher.

I can see it now: Your friend comes over and see’s you pulling half a dozen keyboards out of the dishwasher and drying them off — all the while an eerie silence permeates the kitchen with either side unable to speak. You with your back turned to him are smirking from ear to ear as your know your friend’s jaw is 3/4 of the way down to the ground.

The convenience and piece of mind won’t come cheap. Prices start at $50 and climb all the way up to $200 smackers. The latter is a tad on the high side for a collection of letters on plastic squares. But again, these are magical waterproof letters. If I were you and had a dad like mine, I’d pick one up for the old man, computers and clumsiness don’t go hand in hand. Lord knows how much longer he can tempt fate before frying the hell out of his keyboard. With Wetkeys, now he doesn’t have to.
