Therefore, a silicone keyboard cover is a must if you want to keep your laptop alive and free from dust and other things.

Using a keyboard cover in laptops or PC keyboards can lead to double the lifespan of the keyboards and laptops.
One of the reasons the keyboards don’t last longer is that dust particles go under the keys of the keyboard with time. Hance creates problems while pressing the keys.

Before, stick the silicone keyboard cover on the keyboard of a laptop or desktop. Remember to turn off the device. Because if you try to stick the cover without turning off the laptop. It will press many buttons and might open, delete or do something that mightn’t be difficult to fix.

- As the keyboard surface is entirely clean. Now, you should open up the pack of the silicone keyboard. Moreover, also get your hands clean, or else the stains of dearth will appear beneath the silicone cover.
- Please don’t put the keyboard silicone cover directly in its position. Instead, first, measure the cover with the keyboard; how much longer does that cover?

Tip: Always buy a silicone keyboard cover that matches the laptop’s model. Because, if you buy without considering its size. It will instead be much smaller or larger. If you buy more oversized covers, it will make a hurdle for the laptop when closing that, and a minor cover will be of no worth.

Moreover, I always used to use my laptop during tea breaks, watch movies, and even during dinner. One day at home, when I was working on my laptop, I spilled a cup of tea on the keyboard. It all spread on the laptop and went to the motherboard and burned that.
Like this, I lost my keyboard, however, thank god, the hard drive remained safe.
Moreover, it also protects the laptop against dust. Therefore, always cover your laptop’s keyboard with a keyboard cover to avoid heavier loss.
