Unshaky – Tries to address double key press issue on Apple's butterfly keyboard

I have seen many on Reddit and Macrumors recommend a key cover. It doesn't really do anything other than potentially damage your screen.

It ruins the feel of the keyboard. Sure, it blocks crumbs and such from getting in the keys but that's not really the issue with the keyboard.

The mechanism is just crap and fails. This doesn't do anything to prevent that.

Huh? My comment explains it doesn't ruin the feel of the keyboard, which was my pleasant surprise. Typing is basically exactly the same experience. And at least on my Late 2016 MBP there is zero impression on the screen. (I can't speak for other models.)

And the issue is debris with the new keyboards. I haven't heard anyone complaining about a failing mechanism. Everyone's complaining about dust and debris getting into the mechanism which prevents or multiplies keypresses.

I had the same cover, and had to return it. It definitely changes the keyboard feel.
