Can I wash the keyboard in the dishwasher?

Yes, the Seal Shield SSKSV208DE keyboard is designed to be washed in the dishwasher.

Is the keyboard truly waterproof?

After washing, dry thoroughly and remove the SEAL CAP before reconnecting the Quick-Connect cable.

What to do if the USB connector corrodes?

Prolonged use of a keyboard may cause pain in hands, wrists, arms, or shoulders. If you feel discomfort, take regular breaks, adjust your posture, and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. The keyboard is not specifically ergonomic, but normal use should not cause problems.
