New Macbook Air M2 keyboard longevity

Hello!

Sadly I have the same problem with my Mac bought only a month ago, I use the Mac every day for work (management work) I send e-mails, use management programmes....

I have not used any cleaning product, I am very careful about cleaning and good use of the Mac.

As you can see from the picture, as also happened to cloudystarss the space bar on the keyboard is worn and some keys are starting to become shiny.

I am sorry to see this problem on a top-of-the-range product.

What can I do to avoid smooth keys that are ugly to look at and uncomfortable to use in the near future?

Cleaners are very iffy in many cases. I've at one point tried to post suggestions about cleaners only to be asked not to post such suggestions here.

The main problem is that electronics are sensitive to water, grease, salt, sugar, and foods.

If the function of your keys is not hampered, and it is only an aesthetic problem, I would not make the problem worse by trying to add anything to it.

There is some accident coverage under AppleCare Plus if there is damage.

But if you aren't covered under that, and your homeowners insurance doesn't cover such damage, and it isn't working, your best bet is to get an external keyboard and mouse.

Even Windows keyboards will work, though the keyboard sequence is different than an Apple with the Windows logo key representing the command key, and the alt-key representing the Option key.

We hope you haven't seriously damaged the internal components by what you have done already, but we are just end users here with Apple moderation.

Keep your hands both washed and dry before using the keyboard or trackpad, and touch a surface that is grounded before touching the computer keyboard or trackpad if you have recently moved your space.

There are plastic "skins" that are designed for specific models that you can use to protect the keys.

As I mentioned before:

Food, water, drink, are big no-nos.

Clean and dry your hands before using the keyboard.

Do not leave in a room with high moisture.

Shut down when traveling outdoors and not in use, because the heat difference can cause condensation.
