We had stainless steel chassis waterproof keyboards in some of the contracts we fulfilled. They were 'mil-spec', and they were not cheap, full bore industrial keyboards. But the actual keys were soft keys like those of the roll up design I threw in the loop here.
But the "spill what" abilities of that type of silicon rubber job I posted are well known. Being wireless I am sure anything short of fool immersion keeps everything on the outside.
I have an iPad Pro at 12" diagonal measure, but the touchscreen keyboard they have is one of my most hated. It always "types in" keys I did not touch and their auto-complete crap is also auto-morph crap and one has to examine every single line of text typed before hitting the return key or unintended 'words' get put into your lines and they are sometimes very ugly or stupid replacements making one look bad after the send. I hate that and having to re-type and explain the intended word and cuss about the text morphing crap.
My favorite, though not spill prof in any way shape or form was the full click-type switch incorporated Radio Shack 105 key keyboard that had the metal base. It was only the old PS/2 type cabling so sucks nowadays, but it was a nice fool size keyboard and this fool liked that. It was a "Tandy 1000" if I recall.
I really don'y like the Hall effect switches use these days.
