Title: Keyboard protective cover sources
Post by: ckckckck on Mon, 16 November 2015, 11:33:19: I need a protective cover for a Poseidon Z RGB....
Is there a secret factory somewhere that makes them?

I'm using the one from my Ducky Shine 4, it works, but the modifier keys are smaller on this Z.

Maybe there is one that's made for a keyboard of the same dimensions?

I don't want the one-size-fits-all, shower cap, panty hose type.

Makes them too, I have not heard back from them yet. The last time I tried to do this, several places said NO...

Post by: ckckckck on Fri, 27 November 2015, 00:09:27: Been looking at similar keyboard layouts, none so far.
Most Tesoro and the K90 are similar, but the shift/winkey position would be an issue.

It would have been quicker to genetically engineer spiders to produce silisilk and then train them to make a web on top this keyboard.

I'm guessing a DIY is the only option for this one.

Any tips on making your own flexible, super thin keyboard protector?
