OXO Keyboard and Screen Deep Cleaning Set
OXO and ELEVEN worked together on an exploratory project to research the tech and electronic device cleaning space. After extensive market audits and user research, we identified a key opportunity space in the area of keyboard deep cleaning and general deep cleaning. Based on our research and insights, we designed the OXO Keyboard and Screen Deep Cleaning Set to clean stubborn dirt and grime from keyboards, screens, and other areas of desks and workspaces.
