    There are a lot of contributing factors that decide how much keyboard Mylar is worth. Smaller keyboards do not have the spacing between keys that larges ones do, older keyboards contain more silver than newer keyboards. Some keyboards contain two sheets, some do not.

    There is approximately 1/8 - 1/4 grams of silver per keyboard mylar.

    With those number I would say then my aproximate of 5 mylars per gram was pretty close that I read. Thanks for the info.
