Having Trouble with OS X Keyboard Short Cuts?

Working in the store, I always hear people talk about how using keyboard shortcuts makes them feel more productive or efficient. The other argument I hear a lot is that people have a lot of trouble remembering all of the keyboard shortcuts out there. The other scenario is if you are just switching to a Mac or never really used the built in keyboard shortcuts in OS X (Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard), learning them can be tricky!

We have postcard-sized keyboard shortcuts that we hand out at the store, which are a hit. But sometimes, having to look at a piece of paper every time you want to do a shortcut can slow you down. KB Covers came out with this new OS X keyboard cover that shows you all of the keyboard shortcuts! While you are learning the shortcuts, you are also learning the strokes on the keyboard, so its kind of like a two-for-one deal!

However, these keyboards are only for 13-MacBook (Unibody, Non-Unibody and Aluminum), MacBook Air, MacBook Pro Unibody (black keys) 13”, 15”, and 17”. Hopefully we will see one for the Apple keyboards in the future!

The keyboard covers are made out of a soft material that won’t make your fingers slip all over the keys and they do not interfere with your typing. They do take an hour or so to “settle” into place, which you don’t even really notice!

In some cases (but not all) KB Covers have also protected customers machines from liquid spills. The cover will keep your laptop keys clean (iKlear will also keep your machine looking clean) and free from “wear and tear” as KB Covers suggests.
