9 Reasons to Get Keyboard Stickers Instead of Silicone CoverPersonalize Stuff by Sebastian Kończak, published on Aug 2018 Show
Keyboard stickers or silicone covers? That is the question! No matter if you just got your brand new 2018 MacBook Pro or want to upgrade the unbreakable Lenovo Think Pad, weve been there. Want more legible letters? Or better protection against liquids and simple scratches? Or maybe you just got a new laptop with a totally different language layout than you're used to? Be my guest and let meshow you all pros and cons of having keyboard stickers and silicone covers. 1. Typing is waaay better with keyboard stickersThis is crucial for writers and anyone heavily relying on a typing speed and accuracy. Keyboard stickers just stick to the key without changing its shape, hardness or range of movement. Typing will be still an easy job for your fingers, as you won't have to change pressure on the keys. 2. Keyboard stickers can be personalized to the extremeYou can get them with colorful artwork, custom fonts, and colors, bilingual, with keyboard shortcuts. What's more, you'll get them made exactly for your keyboard shape. 3. Keyboard stickers can be matched with laptop skinsThey can be matched with desired trackpad sticker or full skin coverage and it will always look good. Silicone covers are totally lonely in that matter, plus they just look like rubber. Try matching them with... what? There's nothing that will look seamless with silicone covers. 4. Once you change your laptop, you don't stay with a bunch of accessories when using keyboard stickersKeyboard stickers can be simply taken off, squeezed and deposited in any recycle bin (plastic section). Let's face it - we all know that feeling when you change your phone but still have old chargers in a drawer. Keyboard stickers are - in this sense - more minimalistic and environmentally friendly. Silicone covers take much more room when thrown to garbage. 5. You get what's best from your MacBook or other laptop designThe sleek design and elegant lines - this is what you paid for while deciding to go with a particular laptop. And who would like to ruin that? With keyboard stickers, you only highlight the designer look, not hide it under a thick silicone layer. 6. In our opinion, silicone covers can leave marks or crack your screenThere have been multiple opinions on the internet about silicone covers leaving greasy marks on the screen, or that silicone covers allegedly crack the screen. This can be true or not, but why take the risk? 7. In our opinion, silicone covers increase your laptop's temperature and can lead to overheating in conducive environmentWe had silicone covers years ago on a MacBook, and it keeps getting hot all the time. We dumped it on day two. I really don't like to type on a hot keyboard and hear fans screaming for more air. 8. Keyboard stickers can have metallic finishWe've made metallic keyboard stickers for years, but you can't find any such silicone covers. Metallic finish is very elegant and can make stickers virtually disappear or blend in to the metal case of laptop. Silicone covers will always look like rubber. 9. When you can't find silicone cover for your laptop model, custom keyboard stickers can be made for youSilicone covers can't bemade to order and on a per piece basis. You have to make a mold - which costs a lot - that's why you need to produce dozens of covers to make a profit. Keyboard stickers from Keyshorts can bedesigned and produced to order, exactly for your needs.
Yes, silicone covers offer more protection against dust and spills, but did you hear about medieval knights? They had protective armors so thick and heavy, they could barely move and fight.Same story with silicone covers - you get the protection, but the cost is youcan'tuse your keyboard effectively.
