Antibacterial keyboards
Antibacterial keyboards are designed to limit bacteria growth on the keyboard surface, making them particularly suitable for environments where hygiene and infection control are important.
We use the term “antibacterial keyboard” to describe keyboards with surfaces that can be effectively decontaminated and disinfected. No antibacterial coatings or embedded antimicrobial agents are used in our products, since regular cleaning with surface disinfectants is a safe and effective method to maintain proper hygiene standards.

Antimicrobial keyboards
Our Antimicrobial keyboards incorporate materials designed to inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the surface. While some keyboards on the market rely on antimicrobial coatings, we deliberately choose not to use them.
Instead, the design focuses on flattened surfaces with minimal cracks and crevices, enabling proper antimicrobial decontamination. This is why we refer to them as antimicrobial keyboards.
We focus on fully cleanable, sealed designs that support effective hygiene through proper cleaning protocols.
