Water resistant keyboards make for great companions if you’re one of those clumsy types. We’ve often had tea or coffee spill over our keyboard followed by a frantic search for a napkin along with praying that the keys are working properly. To think of it, water resistance as a default would be a nice feature to have in all kinds of keyboards. We’ve seen them on phones, like the Active and the DEFY+ we reviewed earlier, we’ve seen them on watches, and we’d definitely not complain if they would feature on other electronic devices as well.
