CW Key Base
Lightweight keys and paddles may be great for backbacking, but what if all you want is the darn thing to stay reasonably still on the desk? Make a base as wide as desired and about nine inches long. Put some tacky non-slip rubberized material onthe bottom. Between that, and the weight of your hand, it’ll stay put! the non-slip material is available in little rolls from R.V. dealers.
Mount one or more keys on a piece of Melamine. Glue R.V. shelf non-slip pad to the bottom.
Note: This material may gradually damage certain finishes.
Alas, this is so much better!
