The keyboard features a [two-part construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nocfree) that allows the top half and the bottom half to separate from one another to allow for [deep cleaning between uses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kleanly). The components feature a waterproof design that can be submerged in water and allow for complete cleaning to eliminate debris that traditionally lingers around workstations. The conceptual 'Magnetic Keyboard' speaks to a need for more hygienic technology products as consumers continue to spend extended periods each day on terminals for work or pleasure. The peripheral doesn't rely on any mechanical action for response, but rather utilizes [magnetic repulsion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-switch-keyboard) to replicate the clicking feedback of a traditional keyboard. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hygienic Technology Products:** Opportunity to develop more hygienic technology products that can be easily cleaned and maintained. - **Easy Clean Design:** Opportunity to incorporate easy clean design in various consumer electronic products to ensure better hygiene. - **Waterproof Components:** Opportunity to create waterproof components for electronic devices that can be submerged in water for cleaning purposes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for consumer electronics manufacturers to develop hygienic and easy-to-clean electronic products. - **Computer Peripherals:** Opportunity for computer peripheral manufacturers to create innovative products with easy-to-clean and waterproof designs. - **Smart Home Technology:** Opportunity for smart home technology companies to integrate easy clean and hygienic design features in their products to enhance user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Silver-Infused Self-Cleaning Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mechanical-antimicrobial-keyboard.md) - [Hygienic Washable Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seal-shield-cleanwipe-pro.md) - [Ergonomic Magnetic Component Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuio-flow-keyboard.md) - [Adaptable Keyboard Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keyboard-concept.md) - [Multifunctional Hidden Display Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scroom-keyboard.md) - [Touch Interface Keyboard Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-keyboard.md) - [Compact Cushioned Keyboard Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hue-bluetooth-keyboard.md) - [Timber-Accented Keyboard Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corant-c10-keyboard.md) - [Glove-Like Keyboard Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glove80-keyboard.md)
