I recently purchased a PowerMac G5 and wanted to keep the rather posh looking Mac keyboard from getting dusty, dirty or filled with the occasional cookie crumb.

The Protouch XT is fairly overpriced but it does what it's supposed to. Of course, dust will stick to the keyboard but it's *supposed* to prevent dirt and so on from getting into the keyboard. It takes some getting used to: while the cover will suppress the usual keyboard noise (which is minimal to begin with), you'll have to get used to typing with a keyboard cover over your keys. It seems more apparent with the numpad keys.

The cover does not get in the way of the USB ports on the rear of the keyboard. It simply covers the top as described.

This has so far kept my keyboard dust free. I wash it on occasion with standard dishwashing soap and water.

I purchased this for my iMac & I lasted about 3 days w/ it. I couldn't get used to it. It would make my delete key stick & I my space bar would not respond. The plastic from it would get 'stuck' & would cause it to not make a space.

It got annoying for someone who can touch type very quickly.

Needless to say, it is going back to the store...

If you want a cheaper alternative use Saran Wrap. Why spend so much money just because it has an apple label on it?. My keyboard is nice and clean. When the saran wrap gets dirty just wrap it around again. May I add it's much more snug on the keyboard too!
