In a study just published by Britain's Which? Computing magazine, alarming levels of dangerous bacteria and other gross-out biological matter was found on many Computer Keyboards. A microbiologist examined and measured bacteria levels on 33 Keyboards in an office, and one was found to be five times dirtier than the office toilet seat, carrying 150 times the acceptable limit of bacteria. Two others had 'warning' levels of bacteria, and a further two had elevated levels of coliform, which is usually associated with fecal matter.
Eating at your desk along with poor personal hygiene are primarily responsible for these problems, so it might make sense to invest in some kind of cleaning device . Some have also said that you can actually wash a standard keyboard in your dishwasher as long as you remove it before it melts in the dry cycle, but don't take my word for it.

What exactly is lurking among the letters on your Computer keyboard? It could be that bacteria - at levels five times what you'd find on a toilet seat - is waiting for you as you type away, according to researchers who tested computers in a London office. The bacteria on a typical office keyboard could cause you to become sick, with symptoms similar to food poisoning, such as stomach upset and diarrhea. What causes a keyboard to become a virtual petri dish? Eating food at your desk is the main culprit. Also, not washing your hands after using the bathroom is another. The microbiologists who conducted the test recommend periodic cleaning of Keyboards and Computer mice with a lightly moistened, lint-free cloth and alcohol. One of the Keyboards tested was so filthy that they actually recommended it be removed from the workplace. A survey conducted by 'Which? Computing' magazine found that 10 percent of people said they never cleaned their keyboard and that 20 percent admitting to never cleaning their mouse. [Source: Which?
