A warning light. That's gonna motivate 'em.<br><br>Seeing as how it apparently has 'sensors' that will know when it's been cleaned (HOW?), how about it DISABLES itself until it's been cleaned.<br><br>And that product shot (both in this post and the article) is ho-riffic. Looks right at home in front of a cardboard monitor at a furniture store.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TVGenius]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2008 1:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on This Computer Keyboard Tells You When It Needs to be Cleaned]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/06/18/this-keyboard-tells-you-when-it-needs-to-be-cleaned/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/06/18/this-keyboard-tells-you-when-it-needs-to-be-cleaned/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why not make it out of a AntiBactirial Silicon? I like the idea of having an easey to clean keyboard. Mine is so hard to clean I rarely do it I even have two of the same Microsoft split keybrds so that I can clean one while another is in use. <br><br><a href="http://nutso.ecrater.com/" rel="nofollow">http://nutso.ecrater.com/</a><br><br><a href="http://ejac.webs.com/howyoucanhelp.htm" rel="nofollow">http://ejac.webs.com/howyoucanhelp.htm</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joseph]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2008 12:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on This Computer Keyboard Tells You When It Needs to be Cleaned]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/06/18/this-keyboard-tells-you-when-it-needs-to-be-cleaned/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/06/18/this-keyboard-tells-you-when-it-needs-to-be-cleaned/</guid><description><![CDATA[The Medigenic keyboard was developed specifically to help reduce bacterial cross-contamination from keyboards in hospitals. The surface is totally flat and yet the key stroke has the feel of a conventional keyboard to minimize any affect on a typists normal speed and accuracy. The cleaning alert reminder comes factory preset at 12 hour intervals but can be changed via a software download to whatenver the user wants. Time to clean is indicated by a flashing light on the keyboard. Once the light starts to flash the only way to extinguish it is to clean the keyboard. Sensors in the surface of the keyboard sense the pressence of moisture and pressure. There is a disable key that can be activated while cleaning.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Randy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2008 7:00PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
