    Keyboard Skin?

    One of my students got a keyboard skin (not individual key caps) which fits over his Mac Powerbook keys and shows the shortcuts for that other editing program.  I wonder if there is a similar skin for desktop keyboards with the Avid shortcuts?  It can't cost too much because this would be for our Avid students.

    Also look at Logic Keyboards. They have nice covers too.

    Do you really want to know what's wrong...or do you just want me to fix it?

    Do you use these Dom?

    I am interested in how easily you can change them and if they are prone to getting loose if constantly changed?

    Currently I have 3 USB coded keyboards (each a different genertion and style) for the Mac along with a straight one swopping them around dependant on who is doing what on the Mac at the time. 

    These look like they could be a better system.

    They are made of silicone. They are very easy to remove and replace. I'm not sure of the wear and tear factor but they have been pretty solid as couple of the editors here use them.

    Thanks.  At > $40 it seems they would be well worth a try.

    That's the weightlifter "lift" key.

    Kenton, it is a joke. Read the link from Avid devs.
