Yes, your keyboard is actually dirtier than a toilet. Research has been conducted on this hypothesis, but it shouldn’t be hard to believe because we’re all guilty at some point tapping away on the keys with fingers that touched food and our mouth. Targus showcased its UV-C LED Disinfection Light at CES 2022, a new accessory that may prove useful for that return to office situation by keeping your mouse and keyboard germ-free as much as possible.

UV-C light has been proven to eliminate germs and bacteria off surfaces, so it should come as no surprise that it’s making its way in some form to your desk with the Targus UV-C LED Disinfection Light. This gadget basically goes over your keyboard and mouse, where it then performs a 5-minute cleaning cycle every hour to disinfect the area — so whatever is within the coverage range, it’ll sanitize with UV-C light. And don’t worry, there are motion sensors that know when you’re typing away, so that your hands won’t be bombarded by UV-C light.

It’s undeniably a gadget perfect for the ongoing situation around the pandemic, plus there won’t be anymore second guessing whether or not your keyboard is hiding any nasty microbes. The Targus UV-C LED Disinfection Light will soon be available for $299.99.
