Mike posted last week on a UK design competition for products that might improve infection control in hospitals. Now there is a newly designed keyboard that can be easily cleaned with a disinfecting wipe because it's totally flat. There's a trackpad on the keyboard, thus removing another source of contamination - the mouse. The cleankeys keyboard can be purchased here. The cheapest version sells for $400. Hopefully with scale, the price will come down.
