With all this in mind, HIDEit knows keyboards need a proper home where they don't add clutter to your workspace, can be kept safe and be on full display. After all, special things deserve a special home.

Most importantly, we MADEit because of YOU. Our HIDEit community has been asking us to make keyboard mounts for months! And here we are, finally.

HOW DID WE MAKEit?
The journey to make our HIDEit keyboard mount originally began when we tried to design a custom mount for the Steam Deck. During the process, a genius idea sparked to make it more universal to fit multiple devices! 

"It was a table discussion. It started with the Steam Deck, then customer inquiries came out about keyboard [mounts], so why not make it for both? A lot of our mounts are multi-functional, we solve multiple problems not just one." - Chuck Shirley, Co-Founder and COO.

Whenever a new product is in the making, we always take into account all the different ways customers can use the mount. It's important for the mount to be as versatile as possible so we designed it to be a keyboard wall mount, keyboard stand, or keyboard pegboard to show off custom keyboards.

The process started with a cutout sample that we taped together in multiple ways. That cutout is then sent to our local steel manufacturer, where a sample is made. From there, we test and test, and tweak the design until we have the perfect result, just the way we want it, the best way.

"We always look for solutions in finding the best way to mount it. It could be so many different ways... is it attractive and functional?" - Rey Shirley CEO.

Our team considers all aspects, offering versatile mounting, hardware, and two adaptable colors— black and white— to suit various styles. Our innovative anti-slip foam pads, a debut feature, ensures the mount and your device stay securely in place while preventing scratches.

WHAT MAKES THESE MOUNTS SPECIAL?

Having collaborated closely with gamers, we understand their passion for personalized devices and showcasing them. Our HIDEit Key Mount is meticulously crafted with gamers in mind, offering unparalleled versatility that caters to their unique setup needs.

When thinking of keyboard mounts, one of the things that come to mind is probably the racks that can be used on a pegboard. This is why the HIDEit Key features obround wall mounting holes— a HIDEit first— which allows for easier pegboard installation.

Most keyboard mounts on the market are bulky keyboard trays that connect to the desk, table, walls or even chairs. These are mainly used as an additional attachment to the setup. However, if you're aiming for a sleek style mount that provides space-saving storage versatility, the HIDEit Key Mount is your solution!
