It is insurance.
Back in the day there was some fool who bitched about his K7 failing because he was washing it une the kitchen tap.
Get with it here.
Well, it was not me ( I have been called a fool several times
). Not to say that I have not washed my K-7 with a kitchen sink thing. It was that or let the spilled chocolate-milk dry up in the controls. Still works fine after that abuse.
Bottom line is that if it is WR or weather sealed, it should be able to handle little moisture and rain or an occasional spilled drink.
edit: I missed rinsing the D-BG4 On-Off lever, it turned into a sticky, hard to operate mess that is still acting up.
