Old Keyboard Transormed Into Custom Gaming Keyboard

Hello everyone, this is a instructable on how to make and old, now worthless, keyboard into an up-to-date gaming keyboard. This will be most effective if done for a specific game ( I.E. Counter-Strike ) because of key-removal. Also, I only recommend you do this if its for a fast-paced game where precision is vital, and mistakes are tragic. 

Enjoy.

The following things are required or recommended items to help you get the most out of your keyboard;

~ Old Keyboard [Needed (one that is value-less)]
~ Flat-Head screwdriver or Wedge of some kind [Needed (used to remove keys)]
~ Print-Out of base game. [Highly Recommended]
~ Duct Tape or other preferred material [Needed ]
~ Knife or Scissors [Needed ]

To do this, go into the game of choice, in my case Call Of Duty 4, and take a screen-shot of the Controls Menu. In some games, it will seem like every-key is used, StarCraft is one of them, but taking only the most often used keys is usually the best solution. You may have to take multiple Screen-shots because some games divide their controls in separate menus.

After taking the screen-shot, exit the game, and either print out the map or pull it up on your PC/MAC.

How-To WITH Key-Map:

Take the Key-Map and review which keys you are keeping.
Then take your flat-head screwdriver and pry off each key that is not being used. leave the keys that are being used on the keyboard.

How-To WITHOUT Key-Map:

Take your flat-head screwdriver and pry off each key you think you will not need (I.E. Parentheses ) 
Leave they keys that are being used on the keyboard.

To lay down the topping in Duct Tape, Simply Cut strands of it, and place on top. I recommend you cut each strip in half and lay it down that way (Lengthwise that is).

Make Multiple layers for better durability and improved look.

Wasn't That easy? Now you will never hit the wrong key right before that multi-kill of yours!
