Keyboard protective cover sources
« 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.

  • Missed another sale.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I've seen some for cherry keyboards on taobao if you are familiar with using it you might find one that will fit your keyboard.

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

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?
