Thread: A question about mounting a flexible keyboard

What about some velcro? At RadioShack they have this velcro that I cam't remeber the name of that uses plastic rods with little plastic nubs on the end on both pieces of velcro instead of the "fuzzy side" and a "hook side". It holds really well and doesn't ever wear out like standard velcro where the fuzzy side gets less grippy over time. You could strap a stick of this plastic velcro to the bottom of the solid block at the top of the keyboard, if the adhesive didn't stick you could dremel off a couple rows of the little rods so that you could run a zip tie long ways across this top block.
It would be more then enough to keep the keyboard in place and you could put the little strips in different places, like the passenger dash, the center console, or wherever the keyboard finds use.
Good luck.

The problem is I don't have room anwhere else except on the visor. If I want to mount it on the visor then the square part is useless because the visor is almost the exact same size as the keyboard, so the square parts hangs out. What I was thinking was maybe make some really tiny hold along the edges of the keyboard and sew it in to the fabric of the visor with fishing line or something. I'm kind of scared to try it cuz if it might cause ripping or maybe some keys to fail.

What about using some small plastic tubes along the back. Small as BIC pens. You could superglue them to the back and then run zip ties through them. Where ever the tubes aren't put some foam padding so that it is all flat.

Then only thing I'd be worried about is the glue melting though the soft silicon. I haven't had much lick supergluing things togther lately haha.

Use dubble side tape, that will work.

Only until it gets hot...

Buy a used visor from a scrap yard. fit the keyboard on the face and use small wire inbetween the keys to hold it in place? (like a mesh bit not blocking any of the keys. That means no adhisive to get gooey in the heat and you will be able to return it to original if you sell

nothing sticks to that thing, i have it too with similar intentions for it, now i've switched my thinking to converting laptop keyboards to sunvisors

elastic bands ?

Hot glue, caulk, liquid nails...Maybe if you score it first???

Try mounting it to something thin like a piece of balsa wood or a thin piece of plexi. This will help hold its shape. Once that is done then attach one side of the velcro to the plexi or whatever you used and the other to the sun visor. I have a vanity mirror on my sunvisor and plan on attaching the velcro to that so I can still use it.

I want to get the same keyboard and do the same thing you are attempting but I plan on using bright LEDs in the plexi so it will light up when I pull the sun visor down.

Here is a picture of my first attempt in my RX-7, which I no longer have...of course this was not the roll-up keyboard we are discussing in this thread but just giving anoth POV for thought...
