Keyboard silicon cover

Completion date: May 5, 2020

Dust gets into the keyboard and I usually buy these silicon keyboard covers. There isn’t a mould for this Rapoo keyboard, so I bought a generic one on Taobao. Because I stand the keyboard up when I don’t use it, so the silicon cover occasionally falls down. I need a way to secure the cover from falling off.

Materials
- Silicon keyboard cover 14cm x 45cm (RMB$9.58/each, on a buy one get one free, so it’s around RMB$5/each)

Steps
1. Cut the silicon short so it can cover all the keys. Cut the corners round.

2. With the leftover silicon, cut 2 strips 1cm x 14cm.

3. Mark at 0.5 margin. Punch 2mm holes at the marks.

4. Cut a straight line in the middle from top hole to bottom hole.

5. Now it looks like an elastic band. Fit the keyboard through the bands at the ends to secure the silicon cover.
