I have a keyboard cover on my laptop that looks like this.
It's subtle enough that those that don't know I'm bi won't really know the difference, but also just enough so that I've gotten a couple of, "huh, that looks like the bi pride flag" comments!
Get a blank keyboard, or one of these.
If you can type 70 WPM, your body already has the muscle memory to type without looking, you just need to convince yourself that you can.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keyboard-Stickers-transparent-background-alternative/dp/B01BW91MA4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495814696&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=french+keyboard+stickers&psc=1
First off, stop looking at the keyboard. Hell, get a cover if you really can't resist the temptation.
Try to spend more time writing using a keyboard if you can. The best way to learn is to practice.
Since you're at around 54 WPM I assume you're not a pecker (those who stare at their keyboard and type an index finger at a time, characterized by tap... tap.. tap..), and it seems like you're doing okay. On the matter of "writing carefully" stop doing that. I know it sounds counter productive, but you need to get into the habit of not even having to notice you made a mistake via text, but noting that your fingers are in the wrong position to be spelling out that specific word. Your corrections should not be conscious but be an automatic reaction. That will come with time however.
It doesn't take much time at all to learn to touch type, but once again.
Stop looking at your hands.
yeah dude just get a cover for your keyboard like this. Also grab a typing program that shows you what fingers should be hitting what keys. It'll be rough for a little while but you'll get the hang of it and it'll quickly become second nature.
Thanks! It’s a keyboard skin that lists all of the shortcuts for Logic Pro X.

I love the butterfly switches, but i use a Ghost cover. It really changes the typing experience. No problems with the switches being protected though! I use a Magicforce68 at work and my Magic keyboard at home.
I have this one, and I had one on my older 2006 MBP to be safe. On my old MPB, the keyboard cover saved so much dust and tiny debris from going into the keyboard. They're definitely worth it.
I got the ghost blanket and ghost cover from UPPERCASE off of amazon for my 13”:
UPPERCASE GhostBlanket Screen... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PPPY1LV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
UPPERCASE GhostCover Premium... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRKLH27?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
They work great at protecting the screen, and I have never had a problem closing the computer with both of them in it. Both of them together are still thinner than most silicon covers anyway.
The keyboard will work without problems. You can choose whatever layout you want to use.
The key in a keyboard sends a code (a number) to the operating system for every key hit. The number is hard coded into the keyboard. The operating system translates that code into a letter. Which letter represents which number is determined by a so called code page or keyboard layout.
I use a native German keyboard to write German, Russian and Japanese.
When I hit the no keys, the keyboard sends the keycode 53 39 and I get no in German, но in Russian and の in Japanese hiragana.
So it all depends on your settings in the OS.
PS: If you have problems typing blind, get some keyboard layout stickers like those one: http://www.amazon.com/English-Non-Transparent-Keyboard-Sticker-Background/dp/B000GE16LW

Hi, you could get a few of these to use as templates for test purposes:

If this works out do post pics!! Sick of using stickers for Hebrew and Arabic - kills the feel of the optimized key weights and key texture.
I got it off a local website, but this seem to be the same; https://www.amazon.com/UPPERCASE-GhostCover-Premium-Keyboard-Protector/dp/B01MRKLH27
You can probably find them for a bit cheaper too, this one is a little bit on the pricy side.
Edit:
I realize I didn't answer your question the first time so I'm back haha.
Two years ago I asked an Apple store employee what they used to wipe down all Apple products because everything was so clean. Like no fingerprint stains on any of the keyboards, immaculate iPad and iPhone screens.
He told me they used "Whoosh" cleaner and microfiber cloths, both available on Amazon.
https://smile.amazon.com/WHOOSH-Award-Winning-Screen-Cleaner-Antimicrobial/dp/B00DOPW5L0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1502605520&sr=8-3&keywords=whoosh
I've used Whoosh on my own Macbook Pro and indeed it cleaned my screen effectively, but I haven't needed to use it on the keyboard since I use keyboard covers. Also, this was on the 2015 Macbook Pros. Ymmv since we're now talking about the 2017 MBPs, but if you ever stop by an Apple store, you can always ask them what they use - or if they use/ever used Whoosh.
Original post:
If you don't mind the frosty look on your keys, I'd recommend a keyboard cover. I've used one on my Macbook Pro 13 2015 since the launch week and buy a new one every half year or so for cleanliness reasons.
In my limited experience, a brand called Uppercase has pretty consistent quality. Good luck!
https://www.amazon.com/UPPERCASE-GhostCover-Premium-Keyboard-Protector/dp/B01MRKLH27/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502598784&sr=8-1&keywords=UPPERCASE+GhostCover+Premium+Ultra+Thin+Keyboard+Protector+for+MacBook+Pro+with+Touch+Bar+13%22+or+15%22+%282016+and+2017%2C+Apple+Model+Number+A1706%2C+A1707%29
The reason you need a modifier key combo is that you don't want to flip the art when you are typing in values.
You might like the external keypads for Photoshop and Lightroom. The downside is that if you get good with them and are contracted for offsite work, you'll have to convince a potential employer that you have to have this hardware and software to complete your tasks.
Best to stick close to the defaults - overlays like these can help you learn them.
Personally, I took a red sharpie to my work keyboard and wrote 1-12 on the F-keys so I could see them better in the dimly-lit workplace.
You probably want one of these then. https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Waterproof-Anti-Dust-Protector-Keyboards/dp/B01MXONFI1/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_lp_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8Q9VK89J9ET6X2HJF1ZC
This is the computer I have and it works fine. I edit my Olympus OMD E-M1ii 20 megapixel files just fine. My computer does run a little slower because my external hard drive is NTFS that is a Microsoft hard drive file system. Macs can read NTFS hard drives out of the box just fine but they can't write to NTFS without going into the kernel and changing a setting. I run a third party program that let's my Mac write to NTFS. Seagate offers a free program. Here is
Paragon NTFS for Mac 15
https://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/item/ntfs-driver-for-mac-os-master-dl/
If you format a external hard drive to Mac format it will run faster. I just did not do this because for a few reasons. One I already had a lot of files on this hard drive when the drive was hooked up to my Dell. Also I have Windows 10 installed on this Mac as a second OS for a few other programs that are not on Mac and Windows. There are a few ways for Windows to read Mac and Mac to read Windows out of the box. If a drive is FAT 32 or EXFAT these are open file systems that Microsoft made open to everyone. There is FAT16 and I think even something lower then FAT16 but no one uses those anymore unless for really old PC computers for some retro stuff.
Also I recommend you getting a slip cover for you Mac keyboard. This brand is very good and this is what I use.

I think it's one of these silicone keyboard protectors, possibly it's to protect the laptop from cat hair.

Here's a keyboard cover I'm looking at getting for my GT72 that looks like it'll be compatible with your GT72s as well:

It comes in a variety of different color combinations as well.
Apple should replace it as there was a program for this issue.
After they replace it buy one of these microfiber cloths to place between screen and keyboard.
I did after my MBP had the same issue, and the screen is perfect a year and a half later.

Many thanks!
More like translucent actually. I bought this one for Rs. 300 2 years back - http://www.amazon.in/Saco-appleg6-03-Silicone-Keyboard-Protector/dp/B017YNZI20 .
I just ordered this one, and it should be coming in tomorrow. I'll check back in when I get it and let you know how it fits and feels. My dog sheds all year round and got tons of fur under the keys of my last laptop. Hoping to keep this one clean.
Some people reporting less battery life after August firmware release.
The Alcantara seems hard to clean, someone suggested this if you're interested.

As far as i know, it doesn't really affect the typing experience, more covers it from getting the keyboard damaged and what not.
I have my keyboard cover on my MacBook for about 2 weeks and nothing happened to the screen. The cover is so thin you can barely notice so I guess it doesn't touch the screen. If you do get one make sure you get this one from amazon - it's the best https://www.amazon.com/UPPERCASE-GhostCover-Premium-Keyboard-Protector/dp/B01MRKLH27/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=Keyboard+cover&qid=1566389511&s=gateway&sr=8-3
I have hated covers in the the past (tried some on my old MBP a few years ago). But when I got my new 13 a year ago I got this and honestly I forget its there.

It also makes the keyboard look matte and its looks cool.
An alternative:
If you don't care about the looks very much, go my (barbarian) way - get stickers like these, also I heard there some fancy vinyl ones.
I went full barbarian and printed my own on sticker paper.
air air air
Go to the apple store, try 11" and 13". In your case, I'd say get 256 GB.
If you think you will need more storage, GO FOR 512. Yes, SSD storage is expensive, but the weight of the computer I am typing this on is so great for school...
also, regardless of which mac, get a keyboard cover and a sleeve - I would recommend 11" keyboard cover 13" keyboard cover 13" sleeve (no experience with 11" sleeves, sorry)
Found a link for the keyboard cover! I'll update after I get it.

Here is the mobile version of your link
Purchase this keyboard cover:
and also buy a screen protector to minimize any potential damage the screen could get hurt from. I've been using the keyboard cover with a screen protector for awhile now and it's completely fine. AFAIK the whole advice with not buying a keyboard cover for the new butterfly keyboards is a bunch of paranoia. The maximum damage a flimsy piece of rubber can do to your glass screen is cause some temporary visible cosmetic damage that can be wiped away by a cloth.
Personally I think it is worth it, especially if you do what I did. I bought mine off ebay from bestbuy as an openbox, cost me 850ish dollars plus tax and an upgrade to next day shipping, which brought the total up to about $950.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Open-Box-Excellent-Dell-G7-15-6-Laptop-Intel-Core-i7-8GB-Memory-NVI/323328281085?hash=item4b47de09fd:g:RQYAAOSwx3dblLBx:rk:2:pf:1&frcectupt=true
mine came in perfect condition. You might not like this option, but it is a way to get it much cheaper. The sale price seems to change every so often
But despite the openbox, I was able to get the full premium plus warranty from dell for it for roughly 4 years (3 years 7 months or so, due to the fact it was openbox i believe.)
​
I think the ram should be upgraded however, and they do offer a 16gb ram openbox and new option from the bestbuy ebay store, and I am sure if you hunt around you will find an openbox at the bestbuy stores if you look.
If anything my ram was the only down side to this buy. But I intended to upgrade this anyhow and will be using crucial's compatibility guarantee program to make my purchase of 32gb of ram. This ram issue might not be a problem for you, however I run VM's for work and genuinely need the extra ram for things to actually run or the VM's have a high likelihood of not running or crashing.
I also dropped a 2 TB seagate firecuda hard-drive (SSHD) in my laptop with no problem ( I disabled UEFI secure boot and made sure the bios was up to date, and it worked perfectly on the first try). 96$ from amazon. I got probably 1tb worth of games on it already :P.
Going with an 8gb model gave me a few advantages as well, for example this laptop seems to come with dual sticks of ram no matter if you buy the 16gb or 8gb model. IF you want to upgrade to 32gb of ram, expect to throw away the old ram. Also the 8gb version came with a 256gb ssd, which is not a bad size and one less thing I have to worry about upgrading. Consider that I have used 98gb on my installation already...
So overall for my particular case, if I went with the 16gb version, in the matter of a month or two the following things would of happened.
I would of thrown out the ram, as I need the 32gb of ram and cannot reuse the old sticks in this particular latptop after an upgrade.
I would of thrown out the SSD, because just my base install I have done now would of ate all of the storage space. For reference I am using 98gb of ssd space, and have only 1 game installed on the ssd (csgo)
And I would of thrown out the HDD, because my base install has already used the entire storage space that drive would of provided. For reference I used about 1tb of storage already but I do have like most of my games installed (something like 47 games). I did that because I can lol, The other 1tb is dedicated to VM's and production related stuff.
Your end result might not be the same, if you are not intending to use it for the type of work like I do, and so you might have an advantage going with the 16GB model instead. Each person's usage and goals will differ.
​
There are some things to consider however
This thing does not have the ultimate battery life of like 10 hours you can find on other laptops.
I find that it lasts anywhere from 3~4 or so.
You cannot play games while on battery, at least not on anything close to high or medium settings without huge frame rate drops. And expect gaming to eat battery life much quicker.
I am saying this because, if you have never had a gaming laptop, you should be informed to expect this. My alienware had the same issue on both performance and battery life.
I did find a way to cheat this, by buying one of these.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0713XJBG2
it gave me at least an hour maybe hour and a half of gaming time, and I suspect it will give 4~8 more hours of normal web browsing usage but I haven't tried it fully yet. It can be very useful if you are mobile and need to use your laptop for production. However I don't think you can bring it on carry-on at an airport due to the restrictions of battery sizes by TSA, you should be able to put it in checked luggage however.
Other than the battery life, I personally cannot find too many cons about this laptop. It seems to be a solid performer overall, and has all the modern features you need like the fancy new thunderbolt connection (40Gbps), and support for NVME high speed drives as well as a regular 2.5" drive (as long as its 7mm or less in thickness) . And the build quality seems very good.
Its not very flashy and the cost to performance ratio is way up there. It has the amazing 10 series nvidia graphics card and ddr4 ram and the latest generation intel processor with an insane 12 cores and even turbo boosts on 6 cores up to something like 3.9 ghz which is pretty fast.
My only gripe would be with the battery life. however most laptops I have owned, especially gaming ones never had anything near 4 hours. It should be considered that I haven't purchased a laptop in about 2 years, so this point probably counts for nothing as I havent done all the research I can into battery life in newer laptops gaming or non gaming.
​
On a side note, here are a few few recommended accessories to protect your laptop no matter what you buy, its not a bad idea to get something like the following
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071HBDDW8
Hardened glass screen protector
​
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DA2OMKS
Water and dust Resistant keyboard cover to give me an extra step against a drop of water penetrating the keyboard and ruining the motherboard underneath.
​
It should be noted that I do not get paid for any of these items, you'll notice none of them are links to a compensated account somewhere.
I just like dell products and have had good experiences with them. This is just another case of a product that I think is great and worth the money.

Cool to know, thanks! Hopefully by the time the markings wear off I'll have the essentials memorized.. Do you use the ones linked above, from www.kbcovers.com? I see similar products for half the price on amazon
Get a pack of these. Use them to cover your board as much as possible while you are smoking. Should at least help them last a bit longer. The Kailh box switches someone else mentioned would also help as they are supposed to be dust resistant. Probably a combination of things would be the best.
I would definitely get one. I bought a 2016 MacBook Pro TB and accidentally spilled water directly on the keyboard.. Needless to say, after spending ~$1400 to repair my laptop, I've invested in a keyboard cover, hard shell case and sleeve. Never again.. Never again 😪
This one is great! I barely notice it.

Get yourself one of these, they're very thin and won't disrupt air flow or anything like that.
I did a bit of looking around on the internet and it looks like when ordering, there does seem to be a difference between the 11" and 13" keyboard.
If you can, I'd definitely go with one of the clear TPU covers though. It's a slightly different material from silicone and it DOES affect how the keys feel, but you get used to it pretty quick and I like the material better than silicone. It all comes down to personal preference, but here is a nice and cheap one I found on Amazon. I have the same cover for my 13" MacBook Pro and I love it, it's really not bad at all once you get used to the texture. Doesn't really impede my typing much anymore, I can still get ~110wpm with minimal errors just fine.
You can get universal ones https://www.amazon.ca/Universal-Silicone-Keyboard-Protector-Notebook/dp/B0030UF24G
See the thing is, for me, I have a transparent keyboard cover FROM ebay. Idk if these name branded ones are worth the money or not so I would prefer stickers.
As for this one, its one of those really thin keyboard covers for like $5-8. Pressing down on keys is only a little harder and you definitely feel a different texture. Its something you can get used to but it won't ever beat using the mac without a cover.
Lots of people say this is true for the highest rated moshi keyboard cover.
Yeah, that’s exactly the reason why I use it. I bought this laptop in 2017 brand new, put the cover on inmediately and haven’t had any problem with the keyboard. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRKLH27/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FvkLDbDVF0RF6
The GhostCover is great, doesn’t leave any marks on the screen, and it doesn’t get all sticky and weird. It’s also incredibly thin (0.12 mm thick). I have one for my MacBook Pro 2017 13” and it is awesome
Edit: just make sure to buy the right size and version
Why don't you just get one of those rubbery covers that cover the keys and cut a couple out? I used one to learn the keys without looking.
Bam
Found it on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Learn-Type-Keyboard-Skin-Mailer/dp/B0009JB79U
You should order a few packs of keyboard stickers , it can prolong how long a keyboard can be used by hunt and peckers, and much easier to use then whiteout.
This is what I use.

something like this
I found the keyboard keys are so close to the screen when MacBook Pro is closed they rub on the screen. This drove me crazy until I placed a thin piece of fabric between the keyboard and screen when closed. This solved the problem.
Below are a couple of random examples of commercially available ones on Amazon:

If you're worried about dirt getting under the keys you can always get a keyboard cover: https://www.amazon.com/UPPERCASE-GhostCover-Premium-Keyboard-Protector/dp/B01MRKLH27/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=keyboard+cover+for+2018+macbook+pro&qid=1557011420&s=gateway&sr=8-3
Since you have the laptop here are a few accessories I've used and like.
This is underwatt (xps wants 45) but still accepted (min 29 watt) It will charge more slowly compared to the standard chargers, the trade off is slow charge=less battery wear. So for an end of the day plug it in and leave it, its perfect.
Anker 30 watt charger
This is a newer company. Both the battery and wall charger I received were very well packaged, built, and form factored. It charges at full speed 45 watt, ideal for on the go.
dodocool 20100mAh 45W PD Portable Charger
I tested two of these magnetic usb C PD charging cables, this one is much better designed. It works as well as the new gen apple magsafe adapter and its reversible.
Breaksafe Cable
This works well with that /\ also surprisingly hard to find good usb c couplers or extensions.
USB-C Extension Cable
Finally this thing that i begrudgingly love. The XPS screen and keyboard like to smush against each other in my bag, marking the display. I've heard stories of scratching the panel. This protector has eliminated that, protects it from dust/liquid and its quieter to type on. The adhesive it comes with is garbage and the softer keys take a second to get used to.
TPU Clear Keyboard Protector
I use a keyboard cover, works great
