Not only are all of the products in the Seal Shield line boast antimicrobial properties, they come with a three-year warranty. Keyboards and mice come in both wireless and corded forms, and there are two remotes from which to choose. All are guaranteed to be waterproof and can even be [tossed in the dishwasher](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highspeed-dishwasher) to clean. Seal Shield keyboards and mice are meant for hospital settings, but I think they're perfect for bloggers, students, gamers, and Internet fiends. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Dishwasher-friendly Gadgets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the development of more durable and easy-to-clean gadgets that can withstand dishwasher cleaning. - **Antimicrobial Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Investigate the use of antimicrobial properties in various consumer electronics and peripherals. - **Waterproof Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of waterproof technology into a wide range of gadgets and accessories. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new consumer electronics that prioritize durability, cleanliness, and convenience. - **Healthcare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply dishwasher-safe technology to healthcare settings to improve hygiene and reduce the risk of contamination. - **Technology Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a market for dishwasher-safe technology accessories, such as keyboards, mice, remotes, and more. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hygienic Washable Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seal-shield-cleanwipe-pro.md) - [Silver-Infused Self-Cleaning Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mechanical-antimicrobial-keyboard.md) - [Self-Sanitizing Computer Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-mouse.md) - [Dishwasher-Safe Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otterbox-trustywash.md) - [Waterproof Desktop Technology Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spillresistant-desk-mat.md) - [Water-Resistant Gamer Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steelseries-apex-3.md) - [Antibacterial-Coating Mousepads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibacterialcoating-mousepad.md) - [Stylishly Functional PC Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waia-neo.md) - [Wireless Ergonomic Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-ergonomic-keyboard.md)
