Logitech’s Washable Keyboard K310 – Wash & Don’t Swear

If a few not so choice words have ever unintentionally, but ever so vocally escaped from between your lips following a liquid spill onto a keyboard, the Logitech washable K310 may end up on your short-list to buy. The K310 could have eased your emotional and financial distress, while also saving the loss of time and fuel consumed in a trip to ye olde computer store.

It’s a well known “scientific fact” that dirty language leads to dirty input devices, and the people at Logitech have zero-tolerance for dirty keyboards. The result of intense rocket-scientist research is the K310 washable keyboard that can be submerged in water up to 11-inches in depth, at temperatures up to 120-degrees Fahrenheit. That’s possible because of “rubberdome key technology”.

Drainage holes at the back of the K310 remove the water and debris from spilled foods and beverages, while the laser printing and UV coating on the keys make it durable so the keys will not fade. The unit is plug-and-play and works right out of the box with no software to install.

The Logitech K310 is scratch resistant and tough, but not invincible, and is definitely not intended to be placed in a dishwasher. Another cautionary note is that the USB cable must never be submerged in liquid.

The layout is familiar to all, with F-keys and a number pad, and even 12 hot keys. Logitech claims the keys are rated to last for 5-million keystrokes. The color combination is a classy combination of white keys on a black background, and the typically unseen underside of the unit is blue. The 3-year warranty provides assurance of performance.
