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

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.

Highly recommended, very useful.

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?

Absolutely fantastic. Does EXACTLY what it is designed for. Fits and holds to the keyboard and does not compromise the feel of the keystrokes.

The second you slip this on the keyboard, you'd think the keyboard came this way... Great item.

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.

After 2 months of use, the cover will not stay on the keyboard. Oh, they give 5 different ways to fix the problem, and none of them work. Don't bother Amazon--there are no humans working for Amazon anymore. It is only $7.00, but spend your money on the lottery, or a gallon of ice cream. This deal was a total loss. Horrible product, horrible dealing with Amazon, and dealing with the Chinese company, non-existent. Go figure . . . .

To protect any spillage and crumbs over such a sensitive and expensive keyboard.
