Title: Is there such a thing as textured stickers for key caps?
Post by: Ki Bored on Thu, 20 February 2025, 21:54:32

I have a Lenovo T16 laptop, and love every aspect of it except for the fact that I find the key caps too smooth and slippery when typing, and I end up making a lot of typing errors.

I was wondering if there's any way to add texture to the key caps on a laptop?  I thought one solution might be to apply small stickers with some texture on them to each key cap.  But not sure if there is such a thing.

Or if anyone has a different solution.

Thanks.

Unless you are using a macbook, I doubt there are any aftermarket to fit the unique layouts of laptops. You would likely be able to find success in finding a clear textured tape and cutting them to size.

Ah, right, thanks. Yeah, I wasn't looking to have the stickers fit or have qwerty letters on them, just something to stick on the caps to make them textured.

I will look around for some textured tape. Good idea.

Thanks again.
