Gateway MX6447 Keyboard Dust Cover, easy to make

I work from home a week at a time. I recently got a new Gateway MX6447 Keyboard at work and loved the “newness” so much i wanted to keep it that way. So I thought of creating a cover for the new Gateway Laptop Keyboard to keep out the dust while I was away. Oh, and I did not want to spend $ $ on it.This Instructable could not be easier and costs next to nothing to make. Most of the materials you have in your desk drawer already.

Creating the “spine” of the Gateway MX6447 Keyboard cover not only gives a way to put it on and remove, it also adds rigidity to the cover. For this step, line both sheets of paper up just as they were in the printer. Eyeball about 1″ from the edge and begin to staple making sure to keep the sheets aligned. Only staple 4-5 inches up from the end. you will need the other half free to move.

Take what you have made so far and lay it on your Gateway MX6447 Keyboard. Line up the paper along the bottom of the laptop keyboard(where your wrists sit). Mark the paper 1″ past where the top of the Gateway laptop Keyboard stops. Take long straight edge (or like me the keyboard) and mark the line you will need to cut. This is all excess and can be thrown away.

Using the same technique as the previous step, measure and mark the edge of the Gateway MX6447 Keyboard side to side. Make sure the Spine is centered on the laptop keyboard. When you have both sides marked, lay the paper flat and fold. Make sure you crease well with your fingernail. For this step you will need to fold the spine over and then fold the back on your mark (Gateway laptop Keyboard edge). Once folded and creased well, cut the spine down to the fold.Tape the flat part front and back.

Once the cut is made. Fold and tape the corner.Once the cut is made. Fold and tape the corner.Lay the cover on the Gateway MX6447 Keyboard and mark the spot where the USB or PS2 cable enters the laptop keyboard.Cut the angle to match the desk and your done!!! Now you can keep your keyboard nice and clean.

Again the materials you will need are: -Your Gateway MX6447 Keyboard -2 11×17 Sheets of Paper-Staples and Stapler-Sissors-Scotch Tape-Pencil/Sharpie The pictures in this Instructable will be very helpful in visualizing what needs to happen. And it would help if you had a large work surface to do this on.
