Seal Shield Corporation has unveiled a new line of antibacterial, washable input devices that are the "first ever antibacterial keyboard and mouse to be fully submersible and dishwasher safe." Though they aren't the first products to protect surface from bacteria, they certainly are the first ones to support dishwashers. The keyboard and mouse were developed "in response to the demand from healthcare and education organizations for infection control solutions to combat the spread of MRSA and other cross contamination infections."

The company says, the Silver Seal antibacterial plastic utilizes all natural, pure silver ions which are embedded in the plastic to create a safe and effective antibacterial solution. Silver is a natural antibiotic product and its properties have been incorporated into the Silver Seal product line using the latest "nanotechnologies". Silver ions are infused in the plastic used to create the Silver Seal product line. When these ions are exposed to moisture in the air, they create an antimicrobial shield on the product that resists bacteria.

The combo pack sells for $100. The keyboard and mouse are also individually available for $50 each.
