Wood keys for MacBook & Apple Keyboards

Wood keys for MacBook & Apple Keyboards

If you often think the only downside to your MacBook is that it doesn’t offer enough wood, then some folk over in a Brooklyn design company have a product especially for you. Crafted from Rosewood and Bamboo, the keys fit over your keyboard and can be easily removed without leaving a sticky, gluey.

The MacBook Wood Keyboard is compatible with all Unibody MacBook Pro models, including Retina

Apple’s MacBook Pro is a modern computing design classic, but if you find yourself tiring of its industrial looks, then the MacBook Wood Keyboard by Rawbkny may be of interest. It’s essentially a retrofit kit which modifies the look and feel of Apple’s pro-notebook using either bamboo or rosewood keys.

The concept of adding an organic feel to Apple’s keyboard design brings to mind Robbie Tilton’s mossy keyboard. However, unlike Tilton’s prototype, the MacBook Wood Keyboard doesn’t actually replace the chiclet keys, but instead sits atop the originals, with each key simply affixed to the original, like a sticker, in what looks to be a rather time-consuming process.

Bring the tactile beauty of cherry wood to your keyboard with Lazerwood Keys! Created to perfectly compliment the sleek style of Apple's MacBook Pro keyboards. Compatible with all MacBook Pro unibody (post 2008) models. 

Please Note: Backlit keys will not be visible through the wood. This product will not work with MacBook Air.

This mod takes some nimble fingers and patience but the results are stunning. The thin adhesive-backed wood pieces adhere to the keys firmly and the characters and symbols are laser cut with beautiful precision. 

Please Note: Care should be taken to get the keys properly positioned before pressing the wood pieces in place. If you're careful, removal is possible without damage to the keyboard.
