Does anyone know which keyboard is the exact same as the MacBook Air 2020? Looking for a keyboard cover but can’t find one so wondering if it’s the same as any previous models

None, and it’s not likely any others ever will. The 2020 Air has the same keys at the 2019 16 inch Pro but doesn’t have the Touch Bar. Even when the 13 inch Pro gets refreshed, it’ll retain the Touch Bar. The Air has a unique combination of magic keys and no Touch Bar.

i bought a 2019 air keyboard cover thinking it was the same as the 2020 MacBook Air. It fits but the only thing is the arrow keys are different. So for some reason the keyboard cover is lifting at the edges, not sure if it’s because of the different arrow keys or if the cover is just faulty

The spacing between the keys is slightly different between the 2019 and 2020 Air. I’d return that keyboard cover.

Yeah I just read something about that so I might not use one now. Im just worried about the keys going shiny or getting oil marks as I’ve seen some pictures of other people’s keyboards that look like that

Just clean them regularly, I have a heavily used 2015 MBP and they keyboard still looks brand new.
