If you're in the habit of eating and drinking at your computer, perhaps prone to spilling your early morning coffee, midday soda pop or late-night special beverage on your keyboard, you're probably aware of how problematic cleaning the thing can be. Or perhaps you've resigned yourself to replacing your keyboard each time you short it out, or you can live with an eternally jammed Tab key, you poor thing. Enter the Keyboard for Life, a sleek, "spill-safe" USB keyboard with a conventional metal back and plastic chassis but also a watertight membrane protecting the key switches underneath the keys themselves. Spills actually drain (you can even run a bit of water through it to rinse, though Kensington doesn't officially endorse such an action) and impotent crumbs blow out easily. Keep at it. Drink up. Have another muffin.
