Good, but not quite right

I really, really wanted to like this. The letter N on my keyboard got scratched a few years ago and now the letter M is gone. All other keys are fine though. It fitted well, and while it was a change in texture from a regular keyboard, it was to be expected as it's a soft and pliable material. Good - you can see the backlight through the material, the material physically conforms well and allows you to print much quieter. Bad - the letters didn't line up exactly, so if the right side of the keyboard was aligned, the left side would deviate slightly (and vice versa), creating a bad sense of double vision. It's probably best NOT to try to use one that supports backlighting so the kei cover is completely opaque, but then you won't be able to use it in the dark. I think I'll just bite the bullet and buy a regular new keyboard.
