Are you tired of your keyboard getting dusty and cluttered? Or perhaps you have mischievous pets who have a knack for spilling drinks on your computer? It's time to protect your keyboard with a keyboard gate! In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to make a keyboard gate to keep your keyboard safe and clean.

Materials You'll Need

  • Cardboard
  • Craft knife
  • Ruler
  • Duct tape

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Cardboard

Start by measuring the length and width of your keyboard. Add an extra inch to each measurement to ensure a perfect fit. Next, grab your cardboard and use a ruler to draw a rectangle according to your measurements. Carefully cut the cardboard along the lines using a craft knife.

Step 2: Create the Gate Support

Measure the height of your keyboard from the desk surface to the top of the keys. Mark this measurement on two pieces of cardboard, then cut them out. These pieces will serve as the gate supports. Use the craft knife to make a small vertical slit at the bottom of each support piece. Insert the supports into the slits, then fold and secure them using duct tape to form an upside-down "U" shape.

Step 3: Attach the Gate Support

Take the gate support structure you just made and position it at the back of the keyboard. Mark the spots where the supports touch the keyboard. Apply duct tape to these spots to secure the supports in place. Ensure the gate stands upright and is stable.

Step 4: Create the Gate Door

Measure the width of the keyboard, then cut a piece of cardboard slightly wider than that measurement. This piece will serve as the gate door. Duct tape one edge of the door to the top of one gate support piece. Attach the other edge of the door to the top of the opposite gate support piece using duct tape as well. Test the gate door to make sure it opens and closes smoothly.

Step 5: Personalize and Decorate

Your keyboard gate is functional, but it can also be a fun addition to your workspace. Get creative and personalize it! You can paint the gate, add stickers, or even use patterned duct tape to make it more visually appealing.
