My nephew set this up. I bring the internet box to treadmill so I can check Dell emails. But the keys get sweaty. Tried HP keyboard, no good. My nephew says RAM is the problem but I think the storage is full of sweat. What do you use?

Twenty years in this business, back when we had actual server rooms, I saw a man take notes on a Palm Pilot in a sauna. Mark my words, kids these days think waterproof means splash-resistant. I use a sealed mechanical at the gym. In five years, every keyboard will be pool-rated or it won't sell. The market will learn the hard way.

Can or not bring keyboard to swimming pool? I already buy the waterproof Bluetooth one lah. Jira update from poolside dong, very nice already. My boss angry or not? Can also lah, but ticket already closed so no problem. You have or not the waterproof one?

I sent ticket yesterday to @GreenCloudVPS support about this! Made test order for silicone cover, works great! No article needed when you're busy!

I use compact mechanical at gym, cheers!

Pool-rated in five years? That's a bold call, Harold

Which brand though? I went through three "waterproof" boards before I found one that actually survived a summer in Atlanta. The humidity here eats electronics for breakfast.

Das Keyboard. Not cheap, not pool-rated either, but the switches are sealed better than the gaming garbage. I've had mine since 2019, gym bag every weekday, still clicking. The market will learn, but it hasn't yet.

Bold call on pool-rated in five years, but I'll take the under. Remember when everyone said IP68 phones would kill the case market? Anker still sells a billion cases.

I just wipe down a cheap Logitech K380 with alcohol wipes. Two years, no issues.
