This keyguard will fit the Dell KB522 Multimedia keyboard. Also fits the KB522P.
This item does not come with a keyboard. This is to order the keyguard only.
Keyguard is cut from 3/16th inch clear acrylic. Also available in other materials and thicknesses. Mounted with Velcro fasteners (included).
Version - The US English version is the version sold in the USA and has US English-style enter and shift keys. It is sometimes available in other countries such as Canada. The Non-US English version is the version available in Canada and Europe with the UK English-style enter and shift keys. It is also available for other Latin languages such as Spanish or French. Be sure you select the version that matches the keyboard you have. The red lines on the illustrations show the differences.
Size - The default size of the keyguard is the same as the keyboard. You may optionally choose to add an oversized flange which adds an additional rim around the perimeter, extending beyond the keyboard and containing optional holes which you can use to devise your own mounting method. These holes are 0.19" in diameter and fit a #10 machine screw. Our screw kits fit these holes.
Material - The keys are just under 1/8" high, so if you pick an 1/8" material, the top of the keys will be just below the surface of the keyboard. Most people prefer a material of 3/16" or greater, to give a little depth to the holes, requiring a more deliberate touch. 1/4" materials make for even deeper holes. A popular choice is polycarbonate, which has a lifetime guarantee against breakage and nice, bevelled edges which make the keyguard softer to the touch.
