I have been using several rubber style keyboards in both light and heavy industrial environments and unfortunately they fail pretty fast even though they claim to be superiour. We've found a Logitech keyboard too <https://www.google.se/shopping/product/16574155455207937031?espv=2&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=logitech+waterproof+keyboard&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.77880786,d.cGE&ion=1&biw=1383&bih=897&tch=1&ech=1&psi=Ef9HVOrvO9GQigK7q4CAAQ.1414004496658.3&sa=X&ei=G_9HVPw-x_iKAs7pgeAN&ved=0CIwBELok>, that really can take some beating and it just goes on and on. You can be really mean to it, wash it with soap and it looks like brand new. The vandal safe version Andy referenced to looked very promising.
