What is the Keyguard?
The keyguard is a tool that sits on top of a keyboard where each key has its own designated hole. It is designed to prevent keys other than the intended key from being pressed.
Every keyboard has its own unique design, meaning that every keyboard will need a keyguard designed specifically for its shape.
How to Use the Keyguard?
1. Make sure your keyguard is built for your specific keyboard
