Protective Typing Masks And Keyboard Covers

Friday, June 11th, 2010

A translucent, easy-to-install, and non-obstructive keyboard cover ensures the ideal protection for a curve to classic keyboard against dirt, grime, and other such contaminants.

A protective mask created in a high-grade silicone, thermoplastic urethane or resilient polyurethane offers a great shield against cookie crumbs, dust particles, fingerprint marks, liquid spills, oil or grease, perspiration, staining, as well as controlling flu/bacteria infection.

A typical mask, at a mere 0.1 – 0.25mm in thickness, is designed to coat the top-surface of a notebook, laptop or desktop PC keyboard, including the wrist area, keys, and touch-pad, while at the same time maintaining a quality typing experience.

A long-lasting keypad cover, created with a high-precision molding is often designed to fit a certain make or model of PC, such as those sized to match a Fujitsu, Dell, Toshiba, Apple or HP manufactured machine. A 100% form-fitting construction offers a high-level of protection, with a pleasant touch-typing feel, with no noticeable difference in the sensitivity or response of keys.

Safe to disinfect and clean, a notebook or desktop keyboard sheet is simple to maintain in a clean and germ-free state – cleaning is often a case of using a disinfecting or germicidal wipe with a cover in situ or to lift off and clean with soap and warm water. Going with either option is effective at stopping the build-up of staining or the spread of bacteria in a shared area.

A translucent keyboard protector offers a clear, see-through layer, ensuring all keys are easily seen, to resist cracks or tears, resist abrasions, and often matte finished to avoid a noticeable glare. An unobtrusive shield also comes in light pinks or blues, which also gives a clear view of the entire keypad. A cover is designed to stay put at all times, even after prolonged usage, and stays in position when a lid is closed on a laptop.

A slim, premium-quality keyboard mask in silicone offers the extra benefit of being able to dampen the noise of keystrokes and that is often suited to certain office spaces, as well as special needs or educational environments.

All in all, a pliable, ultra-slim, and soft plastic sheet is ideal to coat a keyboard to avoid daily spills, dirt, and grime in a wide variety of public settings, such as those at offices, cafes, and schools.
