> a common problem with surface pro keyboards
Hmm, I thought the fabric was a nice touch. I've had my surface pro for a few years now and have never even come close to staining the keyboard. I wonder how common this issue really is.
- taternuts 9y agoIt probably depends on the person and how much they sweat; I'd imagine I sweat more than the average person and I'd be nervous about staining this.
- artursapek 9y agoDon't get too nervous - it will just make you sweat more
- wklauss 9y agoAnd, more important, how much they type. I'd say that for a machine aimed at teenagers this might not be a good idea. Time will tell.
- 72deluxe 9y agoAs a teenager I had a sweaty spotty face and armpits and stank, had a chronic hairdo, poor social skills etc. but I do not remember my hands being sweaty. Were yours? Thankfully I am past all that now, apart form the chronic hairdo, the spotty face, poor personal hygiene, awful social skills....... etc. etc....
- wklauss 9y agoThey don't have to be constantly sweaty. repeated friction and skin oil from palm of hands is enough to discolor palm rests in normal laptops. This is an even easier surface to discolor / stain. It will depend on how much you type, of course, and it will be different for different people but I wish they'd have chosen another material even though this one looks gorgeous.
