Wetkeys Washable Keyboard

Apart from obviously being, well, washable, this silicone keyboard is wireless and flexible enough to make itself portable. Spills and dust are no longer an issue with this keyboard, making it a great gift to give to a germaphobe. It has 126 keys plus another 12 one-touch function keys and media buttons.

Wireless, yet the picture shows a... wire.

126 keys, yet the picture shows... less.

Sounds like a nice product. I'd like to see a picture of it.

The wireless version can be seen at www.wetkeys.com/kbwkfw126
It's a great portable 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard that is surprisingly low cost at $54.99 and runs for more than 3 months on a pair of AA batteries.

Great photoshop. Not really submerged in water if you look close and look at the caps lock error.

by nigel on Tuesday, November 10th 2009 at 09:34 AM

bullshit mike, thats a real photo, look at closer the hand, can you look that wet skin?, photoshp can do something lik that?

by mike on Tuesday, November 10th 2009 at 10:56 AM

Easily. That's what it's for. The water looks phony like everything else in the pic.

by Adam on Sunday, November 29th 2009 at 09:08 PM

Lol, the "caps lock error."
I'm assuming he's talking about the text on the far left which is probably used along with a light indicator to show whether Caps Lock is on or off.

Sounds crazy, I know, it having "Caps Lock" right there and all and being standard on keyboards... Who would have though?

I mean honestly, if they had bothered to make a water-proof keyboard, don't you think it would be a fuck of a lot easier to just take a picture of it ACTUALLY IN water instead of wasting time/money on a photoshop job? Even if it was a piece of shit and didn't really work, you couldn't tell that from a picture alone, so it wouldn't even make sense to bother doing otherwise, let alone accusing them of it. Nice fail, Mike.

by mike on Sunday, November 29th 2009 at 09:13 PM

All promotionals and ads are photoshopped, you gullible child....

by Adam on Monday, November 30th 2009 at 11:24 AM

You must be right. It'd be crazy to have thought companies would have been cost-efficient. Why have real water when we can waste more time making it and going through the process of taking the picture of the hand and product, anyway, and layering it with fake effects?

Those kinds of fallacious statements are worthless. You never clarified what this "Caps Lock error" is, by the way.

by mike on Monday, November 30th 2009 at 02:48 PM

Because they make ads look more enticing and it worked for you! Buy your mom one for xmas, you silly person you.

by mike on Monday, November 30th 2009 at 03:16 PM

This keyboard is evil. It should be wiped off the face of the Earth.

by Adam on Tuesday, December 1st 2009 at 02:30 PM

And yet you still haven't clarified what this "Caps Lock error" is...

by Adam on Saturday, December 5th 2009 at 02:41 AM

Yeah. That's what I thought.

by April on Wednesday, December 23rd 2009 at 01:14 PM

As a Photoshop expert, I can say with confidence that the image may be touched up to look nice, and has probably had some color curve changes and is definitely oversaturated, but it's almost (though not 100%) certain that the water isn't Photoshopped in. Even the best Photoshop artists would take many, many days to do such a bafflingly good job, and it makes no sense to do so when water is available on 2/3 of the Earth's surface.

by Paul Lawrence on Wednesday, December 23rd 2009 at 02:09 PM

Dear April - you ARE in fact a Photoshop expert! I am the photographer of the disputed image above and the Director of Design for WETKEYS.com. I actually took the photo myself... in the swimming pool under direct summer sunlight using a Nikon D40x in automatic mode. The only alteration from the original is the crop! I don't even know how to use Photoshop myself because I learned photography in the 1970's and 80's. It's been rather fun to watch the banter over my image. However, the picture is not of the wireless keyboard (clearly - there is a wire) as the original poster mis-understood. It is our notebook size KBWKFC85-USB keyboard that's used mostly in medical ofices. But we do make a number of wireless waterproof keyboards and mice.

For your true expertise, you deserve a 15% off coupon if you'd like. We have more than 150 different products to choose from - email me for a coupon code and I'll have our marketing department send one to you immediately: paul@wetkeys.com

Thanks!

I want the same keyboard I always play in water so................

by miiiiiiiike on Wednesday, March 3rd 2010 at 02:08 AM

You could put it on the floor of your shower to keep from slipping.

by Max on Sunday, April 4th 2010 at 11:37 AM

I want the same, only Beerproof

by miiiiiiiike on Sunday, April 4th 2010 at 11:43 AM

These have been taken off the market, since its 240-volt power cord has been electrocuting thousands of people when they hold it under water.

by Snaffi on Friday, April 23rd 2010 at 09:04 AM

Fail troll fails. Roflmao.

by Yugo on Thursday, May 13th 2010 at 02:02 PM

Your all a bunch of suckers! This product is the real deal. Im currently under water in the lake I live on and im finishing up my senior thesis.

by Kristian on Wednesday, May 19th 2010 at 04:30 AM

why is there 2 space buttons next to each other and 2 blank keys?

I think it's good but I don't really need a waterproof keyboard right now...

anyway to the people thinking it's fake, it is just one of those bendy keyboards (yes, they exist too) wrapped in some waterproof material. sounds very possible too me.

(ps sorry to the creators of the keyboard if I make it sound too simple, some people don't understand)

by Val on Friday, June 18th 2010 at 07:01 AM

Huh, I would love to have one or two, but shipping to EU cost more than keyboard itself. Damn.. Hey, open Europe office, please :)

I once had something like this it wasn't a full keyboard but instead a calculator the thing with that was that even though it was waterproof but partially there was a little box on the side that said do not wet this area. Don't know about this one.

by voxel on Tuesday, July 13th 2010 at 03:10 PM

photoshopped or not, I believe it exists, if we can reach the moon, build with nanotechnology,... , why couldn't we make simple rubber keyboards... gee...

now for some REAL questions : how does it type? is it worth the money, or does it type sturdy? and is it durable? does the rubber rip after 10000 keypresses? Does the print of the letters stay after some use?

by voxel on Tuesday, July 13th 2010 at 03:13 PM

ps about the two spacebuttons, i think it has to do with flexibility and durability...
