Hello all,
I am a proud owner of a white Noppoo Choc Mini w/ Cherry MX Red switches. As many of you know, the spacebar is a unique size and is not easily replaceable. In order to preserve it, I would like to put some type of skin over the space bar to hinder it from wearing. I know there are companies that make full size skins for MacBooks and other mainstream products but is there a product that sells individual keycap covers?
Thank you so much for any guidance,
Supreme

Finger condoms. But then you are that weirdo that wears finger condoms when he types, I say grab a nice bottle of wine and a bucket of KFC and watch all your worries melt away.

It's thick PBT. It won't wear out anytime soon, unless your fingers produce some really disgusting sweat.

I dearly love fried chicken, but strive to keep my dirty greasy activities separate from my clean dry ones.
Never feed your keyboard.

Haha you guys are all hillarious.
Thank you for the replies.
I know this is kind of a stupid question but will scotch tape adhesive have any effect on the keycap? (In the short and long term?)
Thanks again everyone!

Tape would generally leave a residue that could be washed off.

What about that scotch tape, I believe it the 'magic tape' (seriously) that advertises to be easy off with no residue? I've never tried with long term applications.

Most adhesives such as scotch tape will come up fairly easily when they are fresh, but as the weeks/months/years go by they are very hard to remove.
Petrified tape residue from decades past it almost impossible, and any solvent that will soften it will probably kill plastic.
Don't do any of it, is my recommendation.
