A keyboard-holding device detachably holds a keyboard to a stationary support. The keyboard is of the type having keys and a shell surrounding the keys. The shell has a front surface, a back surface, and a bottom surface. The keyboard-holding device has a first elongate member, a pivot, and a locking mechanism. The first elongate member has a first end, a second end, and a pivot located between the first and second ends. The locking mechanism is attached with respect to the second end for unlockably locking the first elongate member to a holder, said holder fixedly attachable to the support. A fulcrum is rotatably attached with respect to the pivot and fixedly attached with respect to the shell. A spring mechanism provides a restoring force tending to maintain the locking mechanism in locked engagement with the holder, but is manipulable to unlock the shell from the holder.
