Seal Shield keyboard SSK107 (review): fear mongering assholes

The box says very large "The average keyboard harbors 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat." - Dr. Charles Gerba.

People don't get sick from toilet seats.

The number of bacteria on a toilet seat is nothing compared to your mouth.

What I've found of this Dr. is all basically spam.

Compared to Logitech Deluxe 250 keyboard:
  • 2x the price (shipped).
  • Thin plastic.
  • Sharp key edges.
  • Gritty vertical key movement.
  • Teensy unreachable backspace key (enter/backspace/backslash keys are the wrong layout)
  • Home key is hard to find by touch due to rearrangement for three extra keys which I will never use.
These people claim their anti-microbial keyboard don't cause anti-microbial resistant "super bugs", but I don't buy it.

I hope to return this keyboard. Man this backspace key is horrible.

Bah, I paid $41, and after paying to ship it back and a 15% restocking fee I'd get about $15 back.

Anybody want to buy a dishwasher safe keyboard?


On the other hand I highly recommend the Logitech Deluxe 250 USB keyboard. Only 104 keys so you're not going to accidentally reboot your @!@^%# computer just by picking up your keyboard.

I've always found something annoying in the layout of every keyboard
I've ever owned, but I make a habit of remapping my keys with
this wonderful
software
. If you end up keeping the keyboard, this might make
you a little happier with it.
