Best way to bring a computer keyboard through TSA checkpoint?

Going to be going on a trip right before a big writing deadline for work and I would to take one of my keyboards with me rather than use my tiny laptop keyboard (likely a wired one).

I know it's not a prohibited item, but wondering if there's a best way to bring it through the TSA checkpoint? If I leave it in my duffel bag will it likely be pulled over for a manual inspection and swabbing? (if so I'll plan to get to the airport a little earlier). Can I be proactive and put it in a bin like my laptop? No pre-check if that makes a difference.

(Apologies if this has already been asked, though I didn't find a clear answer from prior searches).
