Make your laptop beerproof

You’ll thank me later.

My testimony: I had got back from a pharcyde concert several months ago and with me were several Stella Artoius beers which were given to me by a hotel employee. I didn’t have a bottle opener so I thought it would be a good idea to practice using a lighter for a bottle opener. It worked but in the process I had shaken the beer enough that when I had successfully opened it, the bottle exploded, foam spilled over my knuckles and onto the keyboard. If it weren’t for this keyboard condom I had bought the story would have had a very sad ending.

+Infinity. I have a similar one and it saved my mac once.

I’m thinking about picking one of these up, how well do they fit?

For the record, a friend of mine spilled water all over my macbook keyboard when it was on and open about a year ago. After opening it up and letting it dry near a warm heater for a couple days it started right up. Pretty amazing.

I use a similar one for my macbook pro, def a lifesaver!!!

does it just sit on top? any adhesive necessary? or do you just put it on when youre playing out, and take it off later?

does it hinder typing all that much?

so many questions…

7

ive owned crappy gloves before…

but ive also never owned a mac…

8

just stays on, no adhesive necesarry!

try not to stretch it though…

9

for under 10 bucks, even if it only works half the time its worth it.

rane did a series of mac keyboard skins with serato shortcuts printed on them, may be of use to some of you

I had one of those Rane skins when I used Serato. Hated it. It looked kinda cool but it was always coming off when I typed on it, and as I recall it was more confusing than helpful in terms of the key mappings.

[/quote]No it does not hinder typing at all. Not for me at least.

3M adhesive spray would be a good idea. Make it completely water-proof. Except for you know, dropping it in the toilet.

You may take it off later but it is completely transparent in that it feels as though it is not there. If fact, I like it because it dampens that clicking typing sound and makes it nearly silent.
