Education Applications

Shared PC’s in our schools, colleges and universities are an essential element in today’s teaching methods. Students using these PC’s are unfortunately exposed to an alarming amount of germs by using standard keyboards. The average keyboard contains more than 3000 microbes per square inch, while the average toilet seat contains only 49. Students are getting sick everyday because the keyboards they are using are not cleaned and disinfected.

The problem is a result of two things:

• Most people are unaware just how "dirty" keyboards are.
  Individuals are conditioned to wash their hands after using the bathroom, or to wash food preparation materials when handling raw meat, but the general population isn't educated about keyboard contamination. Recent research is changing that awareness.
• Keyboards typically aren't conducive to cleaning.
  Most people consider running fluids across the surface of their keyboards as dangerous - that liquid may "short out" their computer. As a result, keyboards are left unopposed to breed an enormous amount of bacteria. Even so-called spill-resistant keyboards are limited in their protection against fluids.

Washable keyboards from Unotron are just that: washable. More than just a damp cloth across the surface of the keys, Unotron keyboards can withstand being sprayed with a disinfectant and washed under a faucet. They are the first mass market PC keyboards certified washable to international IP66 and NEMA4X standards.

Features:

• Washable and easy-to-disinfect:
  Unotron keyboards can be rinsed under a tap and disinfected with sprayed cleansers to prevent the spread of germs to students or employees.
• Full-travel keyboard:
  Unlike washable keyboards with a one-piece design, Unotron keyboards have standard, full-travel keys for the tactile response you are expect.
• Suprisingly affordable:
  Unotron keyboards are a quarter of the cost of other sealed keyboard designs.

Benefits:

• Extend your commitment to student health:
  For a small amount of money, you can take another significant step towards providing greater protection for your students and teachers.
• Less illness means more productivity
  Employees and students alike are on the front lines when it comes to combating keyboard-spread illnesses. Reduce their exposure and enjoy a healthier, more productive environment.
• Standard feel keyboard:
  Unotron keyboards are equipped with many of the same features and functionality as high-priced, ruggedized models, but are offered at nearly a quarter of the price.
