usb and washable are incompatible in essence. you might rather be looking into a washable or changeable lid. or gloves and detergent assuming this is covid related.

I am curious if anyone in the hospital sector has experience with washable keyboards? &nbsp;I have found a lot of different models but I cannot find one that has <u>built-in USB ports</u> for peripherals like signature pads, bar code scanners, etc. &nbsp;Can anyone point me to a model that they like that has extra ports? &nbsp;My setup has the monitor and peripherals on arms which makes USB ports on the keyboard a must-have.

Washable keyboard with extra USB ports

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.
