Targus
Like it or not, the COVID-19 pandemic will linger for a while and Targus is orienting most of its new products to fight the new coronavirus while you’re working at home. The company has come to CES 2021 with a slew of safer accessories, most notably the UV-C LED Disinfection Light you see above. The ultraviolet lamp sits above your keyboard and mouse (or anything else you’d like clean) and will automatically eliminate 99.9 percent of viruses and bacteria by running for five minutes every hour. It’s motion-sensitive, so it’ll automatically shut off if you return to your desk before the disinfection is done.
