the keyboards arrived immediately. I ordered 2 one for my sony vaio and the other into an older Dell and the keyboards are compatible with both. I like the idea of a washable keyboard and look forward to using these.

She has been using it for several weeks, and I have heard no complaints. And believe me if she had any complaints, I would have heard about it.

I was surprised to find a keyboard that was really washable and submergable. Unfortunately, as soon as my son said he'd really like it as a gift, I ordered it.....only to get another link from him an hour later saying he found a wireless one on Amazon he wanted even more. So this was returned and the replacement is doing great.

This keyboard has a nice and simple contemporary look to it and feels great in terms of build quality (some Logitech models suffer in this department). The spill-proof/washable feature is also great, seeing as how that's how I decommissioned my last keyboard. There are only a couple of things that I have gripes with, and one of those might just be a personal preference on my end. First, the keystroke feels a little 'gummy'. I understand that it may due to the waterproof nature of the design, but coming from the ultra-slim, perfect stroke Logitech models, it just feels like you need to put in a bit more effort to type quickly. In that regard, the keyboard also feels significantly higher than my last. Second, the raising supports in the back are positioned asymmetrically (the right support is located much further in than the left) which causes the right side of the keyboard to feel unstable. It's not unbearable, but you can definitely notice it the higher up you go. All-in-all, I would still recommend this keyboard. Being washable (without having to take it apart and assemble it) is just too cool to pass up.

In summary:

PROS:
-Great looking
-Build quality
-Washable!

CONS:
-Gummy keystroke
-Not as thin as some newer keyboards
-Right raising support position (causes minor instability)

I am using this on my kid's computer. They eat and drink at the computer desk (no matter how many times I tell them not too!). So far, it's been a snap to clean! Personally, it's not the kind of keyboard *I* would like as the keys have a different feel than my traditional keyboard which makes it a bit more difficult to type. My kids have no issues however (but they henpeck ). I would definitly recommend this if you eat or drink at your keyboard

First, technically, almost all USB keyboards are washable. I have a pair of Dell SK-8125 keyboards that I've been putting through the dishwasher for years. I take one out of the dishwasher, and hang it near the dehumidifier in the basement for 6mo, until I'm ready to swap & wash again. Never a problem. Your mileage may vary.

The feature that attracted me to this is the raised wells the keys sit on; you can (carefully) give this a quick rinse and be immediately back in business. The surface is otherwise perfectly smooth, no crevices for stuff to accumulate in.

The key snap is not as crisp as I'd like, but it's not mushy either; it's definitely got more snap than the average laptop or chiclet style keyboard.

The only thing wrong, thus the 1-star penalty, is the USB cord is hard-wired into it. I suspect most people's computers aren't sitting in plain view with easily accessible USB ports. Mine isn't. It would be VASTLY simpler to have the keyboard unplug AT the keyboard:

1. Instant disconnect, no crawl/reach to unplug from the computer.
2. Much simpler to clean without the cord to worry about.

Otherwise, it's another great product from Logitech. This keyboard is currently paired with my Logitech G500 mouse. Love 'em both.

I often eat at my desk, which is not the greatest thing. Croissant flakes, bits of cheese and even rice grains often find their way into the crevices of my standard keyboard at work. It gets really disgusting. A few times crumbs got stuck inside the keys and stopped them from working properly. I've used compressed air cans and mini vaccuums but they don't do that great a job. I often end up having to flip the thing over and give it a shake. In addition, I remove all the keys and use a Q-tip to wipe up dust and dirt that get encrusted in these tiny spaces, which is time-consuming.

So you can tell I was relieved to get this washable keyboard. This thing is made for the Oscar Madisons of the world (like me). While you can't use it underwater while scuba diving (the instructions say you shouldn't submerge it in more than 11 of water, and no more than 5 minutes at that), being able to do a wash and rinse (as if it were a dinner plate) is more than enough to get most dirt and crumbs out.

I also like the fact that there is no additional software to install - just plug into the standard USB port, wait a few minutes until your computer recognizes the hardware, and then you're off. The keyboard is about the same size as other computer keyboards, except that the keys feel more like ones you'd find on a laptop. They are round and smooth and make me feel I'm pushing buttons. Because they lay flatter on the surface of the keyboard, you get a softer sound when you type as opposed to the hardier tapping of regular keyboards.

It took me awhile to get used to the feel. The buttons lack the slightly concave ridges that keep your fingers nestled so my fingers felt slippery on them, but not enough to have a problem.

Despite these reservations, however, I think this is a well-made product that is very practical, especially for people like me, who'd rather write than clean. Now all I need is a washable mouse!

I spend about 10 hours a day at least in front of my computer, and more hours working on my laptop in the evenings -- and I write for a living. I type so much that I have long since worn off the image of the letters on my former keyboard, so I was delighted to get a chance to review this one -- especially since it's washable! One disadvantage of being shackled to my computer is that I end up eating at my desk, and I can't count the number of times that I've knocked over a drink or a bowl of soup on top of my keyboard, or had a cat helpfully do so on my behalf. I've had to replace one keyboard for that reason, and have had to painstakingly clean others, cursing the time I was wasting.

I gave this a test run by deliberately spilling (a) a soda; (b) some orange juice and (c) some vegetable soup on it and then dunking it in some warm soapy water. It cleaned up like a dream; minimal scrubbing required. (I used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser)

Why not five stars? Some minor quibbles, but for me at least, not insignificant ones. The keys are a little higher off the board than I am used to; they are, on the margin, slightly stiffer. (I notice that my wrists felt a bit more strained after a day of work when I started using this keyboard.) The USB cord connecting it to my desktop was too short to stretch around to the back of the unit, where most of the USB ports are located, so I had to replace it with something longer. And on the keyboard tray of my desk, it takes up more space than other keyboards I have purchased, leaving not quite enough room for (essential) gel wrist rest. Most of these are very personal considerations, of course, and may well not be issues for other users, but that left me rating this 4.5 stars and rounding down rather than up.

I'll definitely hang on to this, and will keep a keen eye open to see how Logitech refines the product in the next generation; I'll also be curious to see how durable the laser-printed keys prove to be. I have, over the years, managed to destroy so many keyboards through heavy typing that this is a big issue for me.

When offered the Logitech Washable Keyboard K310 through the Amazon Vine reviewing program, I was intrigued by its wash-ability. You can actually submerge it, and the directions recommend using the included brush (snaps on the bottom of the keyboard) and dishwashing liquid to clean it.

What I liked:
- Very, very thin keyboard; it looks good.
- It's washable! Spilling coffee on the keyboard is no longer an issue.
- 2 pop down feet to give the keyboard a minor tilt.
- Brush is securely stored on base.
- Has hotkeys for email and Internet
- Good base retail price.

What I didn't like:
- Clunky, stiff keyboard response. Feels very much like some of the first keyboards that came out, instead of a step-up.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars (an 'I like it' rating.) Not a perfect 5-star because of the stiff, noisy, sometimes unresponsive keyboard action.

IF that was smoother, I'd probably give it a 5, but that is a huge issue for me as a keyboard is the main input device and shouldn't be hard to use.

This keyboard would be for someone who has a tendency to spill things on their keyboard, and/or someone who uses a PC in an area like a shop where you have dirty or wet hands. I think it would be ideal for an automotive place where they change your oil and input your info before they go to work.

This keyboard is not for someone who spends the day at their desk; like a freelance writer, and needs a comfortable keyboard with responsive keystrokes.

--Update
Gave the keyboard its first washing today as I spilled some soda on the lower left hand side. Control key and Windows key were sticking and almost unusable. After a quick wash up in the sink and left to air dry, the keyboard is back to its fully functioning self. Very happy...

I'm fairly particular about my keyboards - I use a mechanical keybaord at home, for instance. So I wasn't expecting too much from the K310 beyond it being washable, but was pleasantly surprised.

They keyboard itself is fairly sturdy - the keys are rated at 5 million keystrokes and the actual keyboard seems well built.

They keyboard is also fairly attractive. The white keys on a black plate look nice from a distance. Up close you can see some plastic remannts on the keys from when they were molded, but its barely noticiable. The keys are laser etched, and from a distance it looks OK - up close it doesn't look too great, but its forgivable.

Typing on the keyboard is average, in my opinion. For a non-mechanical keyboard the key presses are fairly firm and touch typing is very easy. However my hands get tired for some reason after prolonged typing on the keyboard. I rarely have this happen, and I would assume that it means that the force required to push each key is a bit 'off'. However the keypresses dont' feel particularily difficult, so I'm no sure what it is. I subtracted a star for this.

Finally - is the keyboard actually washable? While there are some restrictions on washing the keyboard (temperature, submersion, etc) I found that yes, the keyboard is washable and usable afterwards if you follow Logitech's instructions. After a day of use I spent 3 minutes washing the keyboard in a sink and then let it dry overnight. The next day it worked perfectly.

Two nice touches I want to mention:
1) There is a built-in cap for the USB drive, which is nice for washing purposes.
2) The keyboad comes with a cleaning brush.

----

Overall, I'd recommend the K310 if you often get your keyboard dirty, or if you just need a solid keyboard. You're paying a bit of a premmium for the ability to wash the keyboard, but if you eat at your desk or often get your keyboard dirty (use it after going outdoors or exercising, or whatever) then its definitely a good buy. The typing experience is better than your normal cheap keyboard (despite my fatigue problem) so you do also get a nicer keyboard for your money.

I received this as a gift off of a pre-order. I've been using the keyboard for about 2 weeks and overall I like the keyboard:

Pros:
* Nicely built
* Keys have a nice feel to them
* I initially didn't expect to like the white keys but like them more than I thought
* Key presses are nice and solid
* Much easier to keep keyboard clean, the height of the keys make it easy to shake the inevitable crumbs out. I haven't tried washing it yet but it seems straight forward.

Cons:
* The biggest annoyance I have with this keyboard is that I tend to you the volume shortcuts (Fn key + f9, f10, f11) to raise, lower, mute my computer. The problem is the Fn + f11 = volume up and Fn + f12 is to put the computer to sleep. Not sure why an off switch key is located right next to the volume up. At least twice I've put my computer in sleep mode and then had to wake it up. Kind of annoying.

* I do wish the volume, track forward, etc buttons were separate keys

* Keyboard could stand to be a bit quieter

That's about it. I've had a number of logitech keyboards over the years and all of them seem to fare pretty well. I expect this one to be the same.

No, I haven't gotten it wet yet.

This keyboard was just released in Sept 2012. I pre-ordered it from Logitech and it arrived last week. Today was my first full day using it, and so far so good!

It's definitely a different feeling than a traditional PC keyboard - closer to the keypad feeling of a laptop or Mac style keyboard, but with thicker and heavier keys, which I think is nice. I also am liking the higher contrast of white keys on a black plate.

The keys are full-sized, as far as I can tell, and their surfaces are just slightly rounded, which is helpful for touch-typists, though the relative thinness (compared to a traditional) makes it slightly more difficult to fully touch-type.

Since I paid full price, I'm not motivated to wet this keyboard just for the sake of reviewing it. However, my main motivation in getting it was to be ale to more easily clean it - my keyboards tend to collect crumbs and debris over time, and I've always found it a pain to try to shake the dust/crumbs/whatever out of the traditional keyboard. This keyboard's design will clearly make that a non-issue, as the area under the keys is all flat. One quick shake and anything that's slipped underneath keys will slide right out!

TWO WK UPDATE: I've gotten more used the soft-touch of this keyboard; the one area which annoys me is that it's extremely easy to slip when pressing the left Shift key or the letter A and hit the caps lock instead, because of the minimal tactile separation between the keys. This will be a non-issue if you don't touch-type at all, or if you're really good at staying on the home keys (the F and J do have the usual little ridges).
