ABSTRACT:
A removable cover for keyboards for word processors, computers, typewriters and calculators has a lower surface and upper surface which are substantially flat. The lower surface has a plurality of recesses, shaped to conform to the upper portions of the keys. The recesses engage the upper key portions to prevent sliding of the cover along the keys. The cover can be flexible, such as of leather. The cover can be grasped by the fingers of a hand and easily removed from the keyboard to be stored or placed atop a desk. The periphery of the cover is of reduced thickness for neater appearance. The recesses can be of varying depth from the front to the rear of the recess, or can be of uniform depth, depending upon the slant of the keyboard and the relative height of the keys to one another. The cover can also be used as a mouse pad or can be written upon or have objects placed thereon when placed on a desk. The sheet can be treated with antistatic material, and the lower surface treated with a gripping material to improve engagement with the keys.
