You can do this with most keyboards anyway. They just don't have the drainage/air holes that this one does. But even Apple's fancy aluminum bluetooth keyboards, toss them into the dishwasher, let it dry for a day, and everything's fine.

I've used similar washable keyboards from HP and SealShield. They all tend to be expensive ~$50 (quick search shows the same for this Logitech). I'm not sure if this one has it, but the other 2 also have rubber covers for the USB port so it doesn't get wet while washing.

As far as Apple keyboards - might look fine on the outside, but there could be rust on the inside, especially if you wash it multiple times. Thankfully Apple warranty covers the keyboard, as long as your AppleCare hasn't run out yet.

Washable keyboards are great for public areas, like schools or libraries.

Heh I was all set to state how most electronics are washable, but you beat me to it The key part is the drying! Used to recondition washing machines and other domestic appliances, the control boards would always have a soapy residue covering them after a few years of use so we'd pull the boards, dunk them in a bucket of fairly hot water and then leave them out to dry before plugging them back into the washing machines.
