    I am worried about ruining my laptop from heavy gaming :ati: , since I don't own a desktop and have a white keyboard. I'v seen a silicone sheet that was fitted perfectly on a satellite toshiba, I wonder if I can find one that fits on my LG (full 99 letter keyboard). Does anyone know where I can find one of these?

    A more important issue is the left palm area, I'm pretty sure that would darken in a couple of months. I've been looking for a sticker or some sort of protection that I can lay there, do those even exsist?

    Appreciate any help before I go ahead and paint it black :rolleyes: .

    Thank

    whatever you put on it, this may increase heat and condensation,which is not recommended.
    What about an external keyboard for gaming?
