So I got the latest model for Christmas!! 🎄

Years of banging up old Macally keyboards and after using my wife's M2 MacBook Air I just craved the Touch ID! plus the freedom of not being plugged in & slick design! So I got the latest & greatest model and I LOVE IT! But that dang new fn-button button isn't on any of the covers on Amazon. (as you can see I am using those emojis with the fn-button!)🤪

Anyone know when/how long it will take for 3rd party companies to make a new Silicon Cover for the new button on this latest model?

I had to end up buying last gen, sans fn-button, cutting that part out with scissors, and cutting the new fn-button/Control/Option/Command out of my wife's non used M4 MacBook Pro Silicon Cover (she didn't want to use it, she feels the rubber silicon takes away the keyboard's natural feel😅).

But my new creation works fine! I call it the FrankenSilicon Cover! 😂 I'll tear through it though, rather quick. Just wondering when I can expect to find a replacement, if anyone knows, or when they will make them with the cool colors for the latest keyboards.

Anyone else use keyboard covers?

UPDATE:

Looks like they are finally catching up to the 2024 Model Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID & Numeric Keypad!

No cool colors though. 😣 It only lasted a week, which is a good sign—they know there’s demand and might release more colors besides clear. Here’s the seller’s link:

Thanks, just ordered two for my two new keyboards (they have a black one now to match the black keyboard). Shipping (even with Prime) is more than a week so clearly coming from China and likely to take longer.

Amazon would only let me order one at a time, annoyingly.

Haven't found the black one. careful not to get the Black one without the FN key in the bottom left!
