Has anyone found a silicone protector for the new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad for Mac that accommodates the 4 keys to the left of the space bar?

This Amazon page has several silicon covers for the Apple Magic Extended keyboard with Touch ID.

I've been searching extensively for the same item to use on my new M4 iMac and so far have been unable to find a supplier. I expect that as this keyboard layout is a new configuration the skin is still being developed. It ought to be available within a few months.

I bought one from the page. Will see if it's any good tomorrow. 😎

So, my keyboard cover came and of course it works fine with a A2520 Keyboard, but of course not with a A3119 Keyboard. I knew everyone was waiting to hear if my $7 was well spent. 😎

Apparently Amazon is contending with the issue of folks such as dialabrain on this thread shopping for an A3119 cover skin and ordering the wrong item. This description taken from one of their product pages with the admonition that the keyboard cover does not fit the new keyboard:

I actually ordered the "ProElife Ultra Thin Silicone Keyboard Cover Skin for Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad Model-A2520" Nov 14th and it fits fine. However, it's starting to warp/stretch. Of course it was only $7. I'm going to take a hair dryer to it to see if it will conform to the keys again. Or, I'm just going to remove it. lol

I have this keyboard.


Sorry for a non-answer, but do you really need a silicone cover for it?


My thinking: The keyboard's pretty flat and easy to clean. Not a lot of cracks and crevices for dust, crumbs, etc., to fall into. Maybe just wipe it down every so often?
