keyboard solution for desert dust and grit

Although I do prefer the desert, the constant dust and grit takes its toll. I can usually get about a year on a keyboard before the grit can no longer be knocked out of it and the keys get jammed.

I thought about covers, soft rubber keyboards, etc, but hadn’t pulled the trigger on them. When I needed to replace yet another KB I picked up a Logitech at a thrift for $6.40. It was more than I wanted to spend but when I flipped it over to see the price it had Cleaning instructions that suggested it was washable with water.

Got it home and looked it up; it’s a K310 and is indeed made to be washable. I used it for a few months then gave it a good scrubbing with soap and water yesterday. Let it dry while I did housework and it’s as good as new. Very happy with this development.
