There are surely a lot of people out there that have a hard time keeping liquids and other debris off their keyboard.  For those people as well as all you OCD enthusiasts out there, the iSkin Pro Touch Keyboard Protector is a great way to shield your keyboard from the elements, provided that you don’t mind feeling an entirely different keystroke.

Typing can be a fickle thing.  It’s often very precise in its cadence and once you get used to a certain feel it’s difficult to transition your technique to a new format.  That’s the thing with the iSkin Pro Touch.  It feels so alien that it’s hard to use for an extended period of time.  I felt like I was using some sort of Naval computer while wearing a scuba diving outfit with waterproof gloves on.

Part of why I don’t think the Pro Touch works all that well is because it just lies flat on the keyboard and your presses tend to slip a lot.  If there was some way to get the keyboard protector closer to the keys through some type of suction, perhaps it would perform better.  Like I said before, you are going to have to go through some serious adjustments of your typing style to get used to the way the Pro Touch feels.

On a plus side, the Pro Touch is lightweight, malleable, and extremely portable.   If you are willing to give it a try for the sake of your keyboard and put in the time it takes to adjust, then this product could possibly work for you.

For me it was highly inaccurate, too bouncy, and too heavy on my fingers to maintain speed and efficiency.  I would rather use some type of compressed air to keep my keyboard free of dust and fingernails.

Pros:

• Lightweight
• Easy to use
• Portable

Cons:

• Inaccurate
• Doesn’t feel like “Yours”
• Slow
