Computer keyboards are one of the most difficult pieces of hardware to clean and are usually the receptacle of years of accumulated food particles from the afternoon cup of tea with chocolate digestives. According to a number of recent studies the average keyboard collects more germs than the seat of a public toilet and can cause health problems.

But don't fret as help is at hand from the Swiss company Cyber Clean. It's a sticky blob which absorbs the dirt and kills the germs contained inside the hard to reach cavities on your keyboard.

Cyber Clean describe their product as a revolutionary way to clean computer hardware and it's also biodegradable. Like all of the best ideas it's really simple and long overdue. Switzerland may soon have another invention to add to the cuckoo clock and Toblerone in the very near future.
