is it necessary for keyboard protector?

[PsYkOoOoO]

If you use moshi clearguard, it won't feel rubbery. I agree that those clear china silicon protectors feel rubbery.

Hmm, I haven't actually used that before, personally. But still, I like the naked feel of the keyboards I guess. Hell, I don't even have a casing for my iPhone.

Yea, I do use the moshi one, however from my personal experience, the feeling without it still feels the best. So yea cheers.

I still do kind of feel the protector there, it is a little bit harder to type, just the feeling that's all.

I do use the moshi protector here and there.

It's all about personal preference. It's not a must, but if you would like to use one, I would recommend Moshi.The quality is better than the cheaper ones out there.

Was given a keyboard protector as free gift. it makes typing harder vs without the protector.

It's wholly dependent on personal preference, but a kb protector does make cleaning much easier. Cos the accumulated grime and dirt over time makes the whole keyboard pretty unhygienic.

But if you clean your keys often, it should not be much of a problem. I personally do not use a keyboard protector as it's not as comfortable to type on.

Though my keys turn shiny, but I think it makes you feel that you have fully utilized the machine...LOL

I'm using the moshi clearguard for my Black Macbook. My keyboard still look as good as new after 4 years+. I like the keyboard protector on because it blocks out dirt and dust from entering the keypad. The feel of typing is definitely better without protector but Im used to it now.

Well, whilst I don't use a keyboard protector on my macbooks, my sister's one had it before, I think it was Moshi. Anyway, she noticed a gray stain/smoke
stain in a specific area on the keypad, must be near the processor. It seems the heat was trapped by the protector. From that time on she refrained from using a kb protector.

 

[NuboxSG]

Yes, the processor is usually located on the left hand side of the keyboard. By having a keyboard protector on, it might make heat slightly harder to escape.

i prefer to use a KB protector as it prevents the keys from turning shiny.

easier to sell it off when selling as second hand. looks newer and taken care of.

Yup, nobody here is arguing about using or not...its all about preference. Its nice that we can share our preference here in this forum. For myself, i will use the protector on and off coz i will wanna sell in future and upgrade later...never knows.

I just realize after reading this thread that there's an improvement in sound quality from the speakers by removing the keyboard protector from my MBA.

 

[icyfirey]

I like my mac without the keyboard protector, it's so much nicer to type on it. the protector just muffles the sound decreasing user experience

Only for MBA and 13" MBP.

 

[newbie123456]

really?i have no idea that the keyboard protector affects the sound
but i still like to have the key board protector on, because you can really keep the dirt from entering the "gaps" of the keyboard& protects from any accidental water spills(happen before)

 

[FerreroForte]

i tink is not necesary... 1 more item to bring ard!

 

[Skylooter]

personally, feel that its more comfortable without the protector, cheers!

 

[00Ace00]

i'm a imac user. And i used to have the keyboard protector but after reading this thread i took it off. It's easier to type.

For your reference
