8. Infection control
The Cleankeys keyboard is a unique computer keyboard for use in any
environment where there is a high risk of contamination. Unlike hygienic keyboard
competitors, Cleankeys keyboard incorporates a smooth, flat, non-porous surface
that is easy to clean. It can be wiped clean in seconds, substantially increasing
infection control and reducing staff time spent cleaning the keyboard.
Although the key indentations are easy to find with your fingers, they are shallow
enough that they do not create cleaning shadows on the surface.
The integrated trackpad on the Cleankeys keyboard also provides significant
advantages over a separate keyboard and mouse. Not only is there only one
device to clean and disinfect, the trackpad is easier to clean than a mouse. A
single device also reduces the risk of cross contamination.
