Overlays are cheaper, but they're clumsy and a distraction for users who don't need them. The stickers are ok, the plastic covers are terrible. I am inclined to use multiple keyboards and switch them out as needed. Anton T.

I've had a look on the web and have only seen keyboard stickers. Do full removable (plastic?) keyboard overlays exist? What I had in mind was to purchase a couple that could be used by students in the lab when required then removed and returned when they are through with it. Presumably there are variant Arabic keyboard layouts (e.g., Algerian, AQWERTY, etc.). Is there one in particular that would be recommended? Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give.
