Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are Barekey keyboard stickers made of?

Barekey stickers are made from a premium matte PET film, just 0.12mm ultra-thin. The material is anti-glare, fingerprint-resistant, and designed to feel as close to bare keys as possible — without the greasy shine that builds up over time.

2. Which MacBook models are compatible?

Barekey stickers are compatible with MacBook Air and MacBook Pro keyboards across multiple generations. Each set is precision-cut to fit individual keycaps exactly. Please check the product page for the full compatibility list before ordering.

3. Will the stickers affect my typing feel?

Barely. At 0.12mm — thinner than a human hair — the stickers add virtually no perceptible thickness. Most users report no change in typing feel after the first few minutes of use.

4. Are Barekey stickers compatible with MacBook backlighting?

Yes. The matte PET material is backlight-compatible, allowing the key legends to remain visible when your keyboard backlight is on. The anti-glare finish actually reduces the harsh glare that standard glossy keys produce under backlighting.

5. How do I apply the stickers?

Clean your keys with a dry or slightly damp cloth first. Peel each sticker and align it carefully to the keycap — the precision-cut shape guides placement. Press firmly from the center outward to remove any air bubbles. The full application takes around 10–15 minutes.

6. Can I remove the stickers without leaving residue?

Yes. Barekey stickers use a zero-residue adhesive. They can be peeled off cleanly without leaving any sticky marks or damaging your MacBook's original keycap surface.

7. How long do Barekey stickers last?

Under normal daily use, Barekey stickers are designed to last 2 years. Longevity depends on typing intensity and environmental conditions. The matte coating is resistant to oils and abrasion from regular use.

8. How are Barekey stickers different from a silicone keyboard cover?

Silicone covers sit on top of the entire keyboard and significantly change typing feel, key travel, and sound. Barekey stickers protect each key individually with a near-invisible layer — preserving the original MacBook typing experience while eliminating key wear and shine.

9. Do you offer free shipping?

Yes. Barekey offers free worldwide shipping on all orders. Processing takes 2–3 business days, with delivery times varying by region. Full shipping details are available on our Shipping Policy page.
