I'd remove that protector every time I close the lid as it is easy to put it back and also it can leave a marks on the display when closed too. Thanks for the heads up!

[peterwan]

this is a silicon keyboard cover and have you tried cleaning it using rubbing/isopropyl alcohol? I think alcohol should be able to clean those oily stuff off.

[RahulSharma-nvfq]

Sillicones can dissolve organic polymers

[riteshmakan]

My problem with these keyboard covers is that they stretch after a while and then dont fit properly, with bubbles all over as you type

[BernardoFuller]

Keyboard skins from "KB Covers" are the best & leave no residue at all. They also have custom skins with labels on hotkeys for popular editing software. Who did you buy your skin from, Ed Gein?

[abdesamad]

thank you so much for the headsup we really appreciate that. you are the best

All goods just give it a good wash under the sink

My keyboard is ALWAYS oily, i dont use a cover. I clean my hand properly, I always clean the keyboard with alcohol, I keep rubbing hard, but the oil always come back after a few minutes of typing and cleaning hands. Its like a layer of protection material went off. Unsure how to fix this, probably will try to buy keyboard key stickers instead

I still have the plastic that covered the laptop when it arrived all new i cut that piece of plastic to fit the keyboard and then i always keep the cover in between the laptop screen and the keyboard to avoid screen marks

Just came across this video, same thing here, brand new, only placed on for a minute, darn it.

I got the same thing. I was wondering where that oil was coming from. The cover at least protects the keyboard in the case of dropping coffee or water over it but this oil is a pain. I wonder if its harmful for the computer.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

You should put keyboard cover when your keyboard is on bad shape already

[Thereoncewasatv]

You were supposed to clean the already existing dirt and grime from your keys before putting the new cover. The old gunk stays there in humid

[emberN]

same. macbook can't cool it actually melts and yes transfers gunk. hope sellers find something like what apple provides when it's new.

[pjusino]

You should rinse it in water with vinegar before the first use.

[doubledrippers]

It’s not wprth it if u r taking it in aeroplane it gonna melt super soon

[dsay]

alcohol and a tooth brush will do the trick

[patatie]

I guess You used an aggressive product, an acid or alcohol
