Here’s my simple suggestion to all of this: Just don’t use a keyboard cover, it’s easier to not eat or drink over your MacBook. So as soon as you cover the keyboard, things are almost guaranteed to get toasty. That fan doesn’t just bring in cool air from the vents on the bottom it also pulls in from, you guessed it, the keyboard. See, that loud cooling fan that comes on when your Intel-based MacBook is doing heavy work is pushing air around your MacBook to push away heat. Sure, this is less of an issue for an M1-powered MacBook since those run super cool, but any other MacBook owner should beware. Oh, and if the risk of impending doom for your MacBook’s beautiful screen wasn’t enough to warn you off – you could be literally cooking your MacBook if you use a keyboard cover. Heck, you might not even need to put anything in between the screen and the keyboard for it to break, as two class-action suits against Apple are alleging.
