I taught my cats not to go on the keyboard. Took a while, but now two of them are very carefully stepping around it, and the third kinda does, but easily forgets when she gets excited.

Just consistently moving their paws off the keyboard when they try and go there, use "bad" voice, and putting them on floor if they continue. And "a while" was almost a year.
