    Hello everyone,

    While searching reviews for my laptop, I found out that there are custom TPU keyboard protectors for it. I would normally pass on it except that one of the benefits is that it muffles the keyboard sound. I take notes in class a lot so anything to reduce the noise from my typing is a plus. I don't know if this is true or not, so those with TPU or silicone keyboard protectors, does it really muffle the sound or reduce it any?

    I want to know before I invest in one.

    Thanks,
    Gnimble

    I've used silicone keyboard protectors, they do reduce the sound of the keys.

    Yup. The keyboard protector does reduce the sound of the keyboard when one is typing. :D

    Thank you. I have ordered one. Hopefully it does not slow down the speed of my typing.

    Cheers,
