Spend enough time on your MacBook, and you’ll notice it — those shiny, worn-down spots on your most-used keys. They're caused by natural oils from your skin, and even if your hands are clean, it’s nearly impossible to avoid them.
A recent Reddit discussion captured the collective frustration of MacBook owners who found their keyboards getting shiny just weeks after purchase. Users tried everything: microfiber cloths, diluted alcohol, keyboard covers, and even Q-tip scrubbing. Yet the problem kept coming back.
The reality? Cleaning is temporary. Protection is the only lasting solution.
That’s where Keyshorts Transparent Keyboard Stickers come in — a clean, durable way to preserve your keyboard’s original finish without changing the way you type.
Why Keyshorts is the trusted choice
We created these stickers for people who love their MacBooks and want them to stay pristine — no shine, no stickiness, no gimmicks. Just elegant protection that blends in so well, you’ll forget it’s there. Plus, we have 10+ years of experience covering MacBook keyboards.


Top benefits of Keyshorts transparent keyboard stickers
So thin, they're practically invisible
Redditors often note how annoying silicone covers feel under the fingers and how they make the keyboard less “MacBook-like”. Our stickers avoid all that:
- Thinner than the bumps on the F and J keys
- Zero impact on lid closure or screen safety
- Safe for long-term use without residue
Made for your Mac, not a generic fit
Whether you’re typing on a 2024 MacBook Pro or a 2017 Air, you’ll get:
- Tailored layout support (ANSI US, ISO, JIS keyboard types)
- Edge-to-edge key coverage
- No peeling, shifting, or misaligned keys
Keeps your backlight bright
Unlike thick covers that dull the light, these transparent stickers allow uninterrupted backlighting — perfect for dark rooms or late-night work sessions.
No tools. No tech. No fuss.
Users on Reddit complain about how hard it is to apply screen protectors or get keyboard covers just right. Our approach is different:
- Peel and place each sticker by hand
- Tiny air bubbles? They vanish after a few typing sessions
- Removal is clean and glue-free
What typing feels like
Expect a brief “getting used to it” phase — just like a good pair of shoes:
- Slightly different feel on day one
- After a few hours, it’s barely noticeable
- Weeks later, you’ll forget they’re there—but your keyboard will still look brand new
Built to endure + 2-year global warranty
Typing daily? No problem. These stickers were made to last:
- Resistant to wear, peeling, and smudging
- Guaranteed for 2 years, with worldwide support
- If anything goes wrong, we’re here to help
