Title: Keyboard display shelves
Post by: CaesarAZealad on Sat, 18 June 2022, 13:54:26

Anybody have any ideas/recommendations for shelves to display my collection? I have limited wall space and wicked limited floor space, so I'm kinda stuck here.

When you are looking for shelves ideas, I would also ask how to cover keybaords.
I have few keyboards on my shelves and am thinking of some kind of acrylic covers for them so they dont catch dust.
Not those keycaps covers, but whole keyboards covers, not flat, but like vertical ones, so you could keep them standing up.
Are there any available, or would we need to custom made them?

Curious to find out some interesting solutions to this. I've been on the verge of snagging a floating shelf from Ikea to set up a display in my living room.

It would be simple, but I'm not ashamed to admit I'd like to see what other ideas I could adapt for a better look!

Yeah Ikea pegboards are too expensive. Talked to my mom and right now it seems like we're just gonna go with a couple brackets from Home Depot and put them on the wall. Idk how well it's going to work, but it's her wall, so I'm not gonna argue. Wish my college would get back to me about housing so I can figure out if I can actually use the wall space in my dorm or not.
