Seal Shield Silver Surf Wireless Keyboard

 

The Seal Shield Silver Surf Wireless Keyboard is a smart idea from Seal Shield. This truly waterproof flexible wireless keyboard solves the problem of one of life’s more common little mishaps, spilling your coffee or soda all over your keyboard.

Normally a disaster, if you accidentally spill liquids on the Seal Shield keyboard, it will clean right up in a snap. You can literally rinse off the waterproof keyboard under the faucet, and you’re back in business in seconds ready to type away!

The Seal Shield Silver Surf keyboard is sturdy and designed to withstand plenty of abuse. The Seal Shield keys are laser etched to prevent fading and hold up even under frequent washing and cleaning with mild abrasives.

It’s not unusual for computer keyboards to really take a beating. Even normal or typical household use can really take a toll on your keyboard, especially if you have children and teenagers taking turns at the computer. For that matter, let’s admit it, we’re all pretty tough and merciless when it comes to gentle treatment and care of the computer keyboard. The sturdy Seal Shield keyboard really holds up.

The Seal Shield Silver Surf Keyboard is designed to make typing comfortable with low-profile short travel keys that provide the right amount of tactile response and an integrated wrist rest to reduce typing fatigue.

The Seal Shield Silver Surf Keyboard is Waterproof!

Seal Shield Silver Surf Waterproof Keyboard is Spill Proof

Chances are, sooner or later, you’re going to spill something on your keyboard. After all, how often do you grab that cup of coffee or a glass of soda before you sit down and spend some time at the computer? Spilling liquids on your keyboard is usually a complete disaster, time to toss the keyboard out and replace with a new one.

Not the case with the Silver Surf keyboard. The Seal Shield Silver Surf Wireless Keyboard is waterproof. Not only will the spill not damage or penetrate the keyboard, you can actually rinse it off under the faucet or even place the seal shield keyboard in the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning. You heard that right, the Seal Shield waterproof keyboard is dishwasher safe!

The Silver Surf™ keyboard is certified to international waterproof IP-68 standards, insuring that it is 100% waterproof and fully submersible. Don’t be fooled by lower rated imitations or so-called spill-proof solutions. Only Seal Shield™ technology guarantees that your keyboard is 100% waterproof, fully submersible and dishwasher safe!

The Seal Shield Silver Surf Wireless Keyboard is Antimicrobial

The Silver Surf™ keyboard features exclusive Silver Seal™ technology for antimicrobial protection that inhibits the growth of microbial bacteria, mold, mildew and fungi.

Most people haven’t stopped to consider what a potent transfer agent for germs and bacteria your computer keyboard can be. After all, we touch the keyboard with our hands. And we know that contact with the hands is one of the surest ways to spread germs.

It makes sense to protect against spreading germs in environments where keyboards are shared such as your home, a public or school library, a school lab, at work and in the office.

Seal Shield is a recognized leader in infection control innovation. With the proliferation of computers in the health care industry, it doesn’t come as any surprise that more and more hospitals and medical environments are deploying Seal Shield antimicrobial keyboards to prevent the spread of infectious germs and bacteria.

Snowball Slingshot

 

It’s the winter season and you may be getting ready to throw some snowballs. Have you been looking for a little “snowball throwing” advantage? Then how about the Snowball Slingshot from Hammacher Schlemmer?

I’m not sure how good your throwing arm is, but I’m pretty sure you can hurl those snowballs further with the Snowball Slingshot. With this slingshot you’ll be able to propel a tennis ball sized snowball up to 60 feet. Now that’s a long-range snowball throwing tactical advantage when you’re engaged on the winter battlefield.

Snowball battlefield maneuvers are fun and easy with the Snowball Slingshot. Just place a tennis ball sized snowball in the slingshot’s muzzle. Draw back the handle-powered medical-grade elastic tubing. Release the handle trigger and launch your snowball at the enemy opposing forces. They’ll retreat or surrender, begging for mercy. Of course, if the opposing team have the Snowball Slingshot as well, then you’re probably looking at a fair fight.

The tactical battlefield opportunities are unlimited with the Snowball Slingshot. For example, you can improve your stealthy snowball salvo attacks while you remain unseen by launching the snowball over the crest of a hill.

The Snowball Slingshot is made of durable, polypropylene and styrene-based plastic that withstands the will stand up to all that rigorous winter play. And if you’re not quite the sharpshooter yet, it includes a target for practicing your snowball slingshot shooting skills. Great winter fun for ages 8 and up.

The Eight Position Bed Lounger

Eight Position Bed Lounger

 

Ever wish for a bed or sofa that could mould itself to the position that you will feel most comfortable in? Do you face back problems when you’re sitting or lying on your bed to read? The eight position bed lounger might just be able to fix your problems. As the name suggests, the eight position bed lounger is a foam bed lounger that can be adjusted into eight positions.

The eight available positions are sure to provide you with the right comfort and support. All you have to do is adjust the positions to customize it to your liking. The bed lounger consists of three foam wedges that can be folded up (or down) to 180 degrees, and can even be used in a standalone fashion. With such flexibility of function, you can opt to sit up right with great back support and even have an elevated leg support.

Now, who says that reading on the bed or sofa is uncomfortable? The eight position bed lounger’s foam material is of medical graded foam which will adjust the foam contour to the unique shape and the position of your body. And this is the key magic of the foam that can help relieve pressure points. The best part is that there won’t be any permanent depression or disfigurement of the foam (or the bed lounger in general), as the bed lounger will immediately regain its original form when you leave it.

If you’re worried about hygiene, then cast your worries aside as the polyester cover is machine washable and can be removed for cleaning. In its full body setup, the foam bed lounger can support an individual up to 6’3” tall. The eight position bed lounger weighs 10 lbs, and the measurements are 76” in length, 20” in width, and 15 ½” in depth.

You’ll want to consider the quality of the foam material. With a lot of use, an inferior foam material may deteriorate over time and lose its ability to provide good support. Rest assured (sorry, no pun intended), the quality of the foam material in the eight position bed lounger is top notch.  And a great benefit to consider is the “lifetime guarantee” for the eight position bed lounger when you purchase from Hammacher Schlemmer!
