This material and its thinness provide two immediately obvious benefits. KB Covers Checkerboard and Clear Keyboard CoversĬlearguard is the only cover I tested not made of silicone instead, it’s made of thermoplastic urethane that’s 0.1mm thick-by far the thinnest keyboard cover here. Over time, I was able to adjust to this behavior to some extent, but never completely. However, the sides of each individual key cover are more rigid than on any other skin I’ve tried-rigid enough that if I pressed a key off-center, the key often didn’t register. If I pressed directly in the middle of each key when I typed, the ProTouch FX worked fine. The ProTouch FX fits a MacBook keyboard well, but I was disappointed by the feel of the cover. (Although there’s at least a tiny window that allows you to see the capslock-indicator light.) These black-and-white keytops make the keys easy to read, but they have one major drawback: If your Mac notebook has a backlit keyboard, the ProTouch FX blocks this light completely. ProTouch Keyboard Protector is unique in that the company has treated the keyboard skin with an anti-bacterial agent iSkin claims this “inhibit the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria.” In addition, rather than using a clear design, all ProTouch FX models are made of semi-transparent silicone with solid-black keytops and white key labels you can choose between clear, blue, or pink for the silicone color. (I should also point out that if your keyboard has seen so much use that its key labels have worn off, a keyboard skin is also a relatively inexpensive way to figure out which key is which.) Finally, keyboard covers can be hand-washed with water and mild soap after letting them air-dry, they’re as good as new.
Throw your keyboard in the dishwasher and let it dry out afterwards.) As an added bonus, these covers often make typing quieter, which helps ensure domestic tranquility if you tend to be up at night, typing in bed, while your better half is trying to get some shuteye.
Although covers are also available for desktop keyboards, they’re especially useful for notebooks, given that anything that falls between your keys ends up inside the computer itself. Wrote about notebook cleanup and protection, one of the accessories I recommended was a keyboard cover or “skin.” These thin, silicone (or similar material) covers are generally custom-fit for each laptop and prevent nasty stuff-dust, crumbs, hair, liquids, you name it-from getting into the guts of your keyboard.
