The keyguard designer for iPad keyboards is based on the keyguard designer for Chromebooks.\u00a0 Unfortunately, while Chromebook keyboards are standardized, there’s a lot of variation in the layouts of keyboards that can be used with iPads:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve tried to accommodate most of this variation by adding lots of optional features to the designer.<\/p>\n

One of the complexities of these keyboards is how best to mount the keyguard to the keyboard.\u00a0 We’ll describe a couple of approaches below.<\/p>\n

Keyguard AT<\/a> sells laser-cut keyguards for several keyboards – many of which could be used with an iPad.\u00a0 You’ll pay between $35 and $60.\u00a0 \u00a0On the other hand, you can 3D-print an equivalent keyguard for $2 to $3.<\/p>\n

In the process of developing our keyguard designer we’ve produced keyguards for two keyboards, the Logitech Wired Keyboard and the OMOTON KB066 iPad Keyboard.\u00a0 You can download the STL files for those keyguards from here:<\/p>\n
