Sneak has been sent a clever fabric keyboard by peripherals maker Eleksen. This cloth-based item opens up the possibility that your keyboard - normally a haven for unspeakable filth - might be as clean as your clothes.

Given that it links to your PDA or phone using Bluetooth, and is battery powered, it should also work in the bath - providing you steer clear of bath salts. People do tell Sneak that wearing your clothes in the bath is not the best way to get them, or yourself, clean, but what do they know about efficiency? Sneak is a busy person, and now fully intends to kill three birds with one sponge.
