    I've tried searching this forum but get thousands of results without the specific topic.

    The only keyboard protectors (silicone skins) I've found have been for the US model, which has a different Enter key. As I am a menace with flying Kettle Chips splinters, I'd really like to get something to stop them sneaking between the keys of my UK M11x.

    The ones I use are generic and not shaped to keys. Dirt cheap too. Not sure where to get in UK.

    Thank you, GnG. I think the ones I've seen can be used whilst typing. Perhaps I'll just have to stretch a bit of cling-film over the keyboard when I'm snacking ;)

    Dang those Chinese, don't they realise that the EU is a pretty big market too?

    Ah, I've had a look at your type of skin and I shall get one of them, there are plenty on eBay. As you say, dirt cheap :)

    I don't remove to type! Works fine! However only one was correct size others need trimmed but this hasn't been a problem
