Silicone Keyboard Cover for Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad MQ052LL/A (A1843) US Layout Ultra Thin Protector Skin (for Magic Keyboard (Black)

After using for several months I find the cover works as originally described. Because of thin material some minor stretch/warp but still in one piece. Some color has worn off from the heavily used keys noted, but print is still readable. Very good value. Original review follows.Perfect fit on top of my A1843 keyboard and keys. Unlike another well-known third-party keyboard company's product, this doesn't wrap all the way around the outer edge of a Mac keyboard, so it may be prone to slipping off an edge over time (just trying it out so will have to wait and see). I get crumbs all over the place so keeping the keyboard dirt-free is a priority. That said, this model seems to work fine: smooth and soft silicone surface, OK keycap printing (matches actual keyboard perfectly), doesn't impede keyboard action. I wish I could find silicone model with large-print key markings or at least a little bolder print. The other company's product has become too expensive, but I prefer oversize/bolder markings for late-night or low-light work. Eager to see how well this holds up on the keys that often wear out first (for me that's o, a, s, c, n, and right shift). Overall good so far.

Impressively useful— my primary need was to keep crumbs and liquids out of the keyboard, and it does that very well. For general use, it has a nice feel and fit. In just over a week, I've discovered two annoyances that might be significant for some: 1) I sometimes snag the edge of the silicone cover when reaching for Control, Option, and Command keys. This is because the edge does not "stick" to the keyboard base, but floats just above it. I didn't realize that I unconsiously slide my fingers along that edge until I started picking up the keyboard cover. 2) In fast typing, this slows me down just a bit. I haven't quantified the speed change, but I can feel it. Over many years of using these Apple keyboards, I have quickly slid my fingers over the smooth keys—but now, the silicone has a more "grabby" surface that prevents me from doing that in the same way. These are not deal-breakers for me, and my simple solution is to lift off the cover for short periods of high-volume input as needed. UPDATE: This lasted about 3 months, so I just ordered another. It's worth the benefits and it saves wear on the keyboard.

I can't believe I'm writing a review on a keyboard cover - I don't write reviews! But this little thing is a game changer! The keys on my apple keyboard feel sharper, I can see everything where with my previous clear one I could see the numbers/letters well especially as it wore out. Its really worth it and the material quality is very good. Highly recommend.

It fits snugly over the Apple Magic Keyboard and keeps crumbs, dust, and the occasional coffee incident out. It's thin enough that typing still feels natural. It's also easy to pull off and rinse when it needs it. For something this cheap, it saves a lot of worry.

My original review of this product remains unchanged. It didn't work for me. I specified that the feel of the cover changed my typing ability from "barely passable to terrible". This remains true for me. A better typist may have no issue. But for me, the 2-star review remains.However, I was contacted by the company who wanted to address my concerns. They offered a few alternatives to mitigate the issues I had with their product. I greatly appreciate their level of customer service. This is uncommon. I recently had a serious issue with customer service with an unrelated product from another company, and neither the company nor Amazon would fix it.Thank you for excellent customer service. Even if I cannot endorse your keyboard cover for sub-par typists such as myself, I certainly can appreciate your company. My original review of the product is below.Likes* When the correct cover is selected, it fits well, and it stays put on the keyboard while typing.* Due to to its thickness and fit, it protects the keyboard well.* When dirty, it is easy to wash.DislikesSerious Issue:* The cover is thick and not as flexible as other covers I've used in the past. As such, my typing quality reduced from barely passable to terrible. I must remove the cover while typing. Because of the thickness and relatively low flexibility (compared to previous covers), I tend to press two keys at once OR fail to press hard enough to work at all. During the first six months of use, I typed with the cover in place assuming I would adapt. I didn't. Removing the cover while typing defeats much of the protection. I could have saved money by just putting a plastic bag over it when not in use.Nitpicks:* While the black keys with white letter markings look nice when new, after a few months, the black quickly wears away from the most commonly used keys. The cover looks terrible.* When removing the cover from the keyboard, it leaves an odd residue behind. This residue is not quite wet, and it rubs off without too much effort. But it's been on my keyboard almost a year and it still leaves a residue when removed. Why?

This is the perfect key board cover and it fits like a glove. It stickes to the keyboard so good I forget it's there. I had a clear one for a couple years and after a while it was hard to see the keys, but this one has the keys printed on it. Apple keyboards are super senistive to any type of spill or exposure so this is a must have have for apple keyboards and very inexpensive. Great quality and the price is right!

At first I loved this keyboard cover for its nice fit and the letters on top of it (my magic keyboard letters were fading). About 3-4 weeks later I found myself constantly having to smooth it down because it started to move around the keyboard. I am very disappointed in this and will not buy from them again.

I initially purchased a keyboard cover that matched my Magic keyboard—black keys with white letters. However, the keys I frequently use began to wear off on my actual keyboard, and the silicone keyboard cover experienced the same issue. I hypothesized that a plain, see-through cover might alleviate this problem.Unfortunately, this cover stretched out to the point where it no longer precisely fits on the keys. This has made typing more challenging. Also, the fingerprint ID key requires me to remove the cover to use it.In response, I opted to replace this cover with the original one I purchased—black keys with white letters. At least this cover doesn’t stretch out.
