    I was just looking at some accessories for my m14 that should be coming in soon and was wondering if anyone uses a good m14 keyboard skin or if it's even worth using? Thoughts/opinions?

    By keyboard skin you mean this?

    If so, yes I have one. It's pretty useful (no dirt in my keys!) and comfortable to use.

    ^ yes that is what i am referring to. would you recommend a good skin to use? i just want something that will protect the keys, but still be able to show off the aesthetics of the lights of the keyboard.

    Nope not for me, As for thewind21 said, I dont think it is a good idea to use the keyboard skin, unless you use the laptop in a dirty environment which I dont think you will. So I dont think it is needed.
