Keyboards and mice ( is that the correct plural?) There are many products that will allow disinfection of these devices to avoid cross contamination. According to Rella Christensen of CRA high ethyl alcohol content cleaners are sufficient for this type of disinfection. Lysol is one of these products.  There are also several covers and barriers made for keyboards. Some are universal covers while others are custom made for each major keyboard manufacturer.

These products are washable and can be sprayed down:
