I used to purchase the more expensive shower curtain liners thinking that they were more durable and would last longer than the ones that I buy at the Dollar Tree store for just $1.00. Once they were past their prime, I usually cut the magnets off the bottom and then use them to post notes on my refrigerator.
This time instead of throwing out the liner I made a dust cover for my keyboard for when it's time to shut down the computer for the night. I measured the length and width of the keyboard and added 3 inches all the way around. I cut out a double piece of plastic, and sewed a zigzag stitch to hold the two pieces together. Turn over 1/4 inch and sew a seam around the circumference. Then sew 1/4 inch elastic around, pulling the elastic taunt while stitching.

Since I'm a guy I like things simple, like a kitchen towel on top of the keyboard when it's not is use.
Just make sure the magnets don't get anywhere near your computer.
I cut the magnets off and use them exclusively on my refrigerator.
I've been trying to find just such a dust cover. I'm not too handy, but I'm going to have to at least try this.
You should be able to buy correct size keyboard covers at any computer store.
