Viziflex's Formfitting Keyboard Cover for Microsoft 4000 Model 1048, KU0462

I have bought and used at least 10 other keyboard covers. All had some or all of the following flaws: Cover would be bent or folded for shipping and the crease would not straighten out; have 'bubbles' or imperfections from manufacturing process causing a bad fit; Cover was too thin and after a short time would tear at frequently used keys (i.e. Enter, space bar and 'a,w,d,x,s' keys from gaming) Or, be too thick to be functional (i.e. Hit 'Enter' and the 'Caps lock' would be pulled across the keyboard, causing the caps to be activated)Overall, I had never had a keyboard cover that I liked...Until I bought Viziflex's formfitting cover. I was very hesitant to try another one from past experience, but I just bought a nice keyboard (Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000) and I wanted to try to protect it even with the flaws mentioned above. It arrived exactly when promised but was folded in carton for shipping. Uh-oh, I thought, here we go again. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I spread it out and all folds disappeared! I did use one trick that I had learned long ago: I draped the cover over the keyboard and let it sit for a few days to let the cover 'settle' into place. And before fastening the adhesive tabs (About 7-8 around the keyboard) I took a hair blow dryer and on a low setting or not held too close to the cover it would warm up a bit and become a little more pliable. I then carefully attached the tabs as if I was tightening the lug nuts on a car: Stat at one corner, then diagonally fasten the opposite corner, working my way around in this way. This really avoids causing and 'ripples' or distortion on the cover.I have used this cover for the past few months and couldn't be happier! I even 'bench tested' the cover when a full cup of hot coffee was spilled directly on the keyboard. The keyboard stayed 'high and dry' and except for the mess everywhere else on my desk.....I would highly recommend this company's products to anyone with a keyboard (I suppose that would be almost everybody?) And I plan to use them again since I really don't like the 'Ergonomic' keyboard. I just can't seem to get used to it. I think my next one will be the old rectangle shape keyboard. So, I will be buying and critiquing another cover soon.Bottom line: For the few bucks that covers cost it is well worth the protection and peace of mind, especially when you have a company you can trust!

Great idea but horrible execution. The cover does not fit correctly and makes the keyboard unusable. It sat against some of the keys which was great but left up to a quarter inch space from others. This caused the cover to fold in on itself while typing. I attempted to fix with double side tape which only made it worse. It would now fold over on keys and auto type the letter under it. I was frustrated with it and was looking to return if possible. My wife saw my reaction to the entire thing and just threw it away. When typing is your occupation, this product could not be tolerated.

This thing is not worth the money. I tried using it for a good 5-10 minutes, and found it impossible to type with. I understand that its just a plastic cover, but its not as form fitting as it should be, and whenever I type a key, the key gets depressed, but the plastic cover bounces quickly back, making it seem like Im just shoving in random plastic at times.Ive always had the problem of ruining my keyboards, or my keyboards getting semi-disgusting over time. Small crumbs, dirt, dust, etc. All the annoying stuff in life getting inside of it. I thought I could take a shortcut by buying this keyboard cover here, but Id stay away from this for now. I just decided to buy a new keyboard every year.Id rate this thing one star, but I gave it two, since guess you can lay it over your keyboard and just literally use it as a "cover" and nothing more (no typing, just a cover to protect it from dust and dirt...)____________UPDATE so Ive been using this for the past week and a half as a simple cover, and have just been typing with it on as well... totally unusable at work, but at home, it seems to get the job done. wont say its an awesome product, but it has prevented some spills. Would I buy it again? Yeah... probably. Am I happy with it? Not really.

I have used a keyboard cover for years. I change it out yearly. First of all. It keeps my keyboard from become dusty. A plus for sure. Also. I can be a bit of a klutz. I have, on more than one occasion, dumped a beverage on my keyboard. Even the cups with a cover. I often sit at my keyboard for hours & hours & it's just inevitable. A keyboard cover is much cheaper than buying a keyboard a couple of times a year. Now. A keyboard cover won't really work for those of you who "hunt & peck" when typing. Instead of typing without looking at the keyboard. I learned to type back in the early 70s. When you had to memorize the keyboard. While this cover is clear, it is a bit of a nuisance if you have to look at the keyboard to type.

I was ready to buy three of these, but bought one to test the fit. Wound up returning it because it was a bad fit; it needs to be stretched to fit and is held in place with tape. Awkward to use; includes cut-out for scroll wheel, negating liquid-proofing ability of cover to protect keyboard (I don’t use the keyboard scroll wheel). Not worth the $25 being charged at the time of this posting.
