Hi Donna,

I agree with Donna. We have the washable keyboards. We did have the covers in one unit and like Sue said the get lost or they start ripping.

Hi Donna
The keyboards with the cover are an absolute nightmare and the staff just remove them or “lose” them as they don’t like typing through the cover. A sealed washable keyboard is the best option.

Hi ACIPC Colleagues,

Our facility has launched electronic documentation and with that the use of computers on wheels. From an infection control point of view I’m recommending either covered or washable keyboards and mice.

We’ve tried the ‘SteriClick’ keyboard and the feedback from users has been that the keys are so stiff and hard to push that staff are refusing to use them. For those of you using computers on wheels – what washable key boards and mice are you successfully using? or are you using covers and if so do they work? When I raised the possibility of using covers here feedback was that these would be flipped off and not used.

Anyone have suggestions?

Kind regards,
Donna
