My refurbished Apple keyboard has been giving me problems so I splurged on a Matias Tactile Pro mechanical keyboard. Does anyone here have one and, if so, do you use a keyboard cover to keep dust and others stuff from getting into the keys?
I’ve had two Matias keyboards, the Quiet Pro and the Wired Aluminum.
First, I have nothing but praise for Matias’ customer service. When I had key bounce problems with both models—at different times—Matias took care of me with minimal hassle. In fact, in one case they proactively reached out to me after seeing something I had written in an Amazon review.
Having said that, I would strongly recommend using some sort of cover or protection for the key switch mechanisms. The switches seem to be affected by debris easily; the first responses I received from Matias about my issues were cleaning instructions.
I love that keyboard. I’m on my second one, the first having lasted 20 years. I cover mine with a dish towel when not in use. Not elegant but functional.
I prefer the silicone covers that seal/block the openings around the keys.
