An Invention for Klutzes Like Me
Since I am deadly around keyboards, I decided to cover my next new one. So, when I replaced my Dell keyboard, I used the cellophane, it was wrapped in, as a keyboard cover.
Eventually, it gets dingy. So, I flipped it around and used the other side until, it too, was unable to be used. So, I looked into keyboard covers. The Cyberguys.com, had a "one size fits all" type cover. But, I wanted something more tailor made. I found one at protectcovers.com. It arrived promptly and I installed it immediately.
It was really simple. You just place it over your keyboard. It is exactly as described. Tailored to your keyboard. You can see, from this crappy photograph, that even the Dell logo is pressed into it:
After you fit it over the keys, you peel off the paper, over the adhesive, and adhere it to the sides and the bottom:
And this is the final result:
When you type on it, you are aware it's there. It's not invisible. But, you get used to it. An added bonus? It quiets down the keyboard. And, it's supposed to be easy to clean. As big a klutz as I am, I will probably find out soon, whether or not it is.
