is the silicone keyboard transparent on the macbook pro 13 inch? i noticed there are two options, "black" and "silicone keyboard".

The space between the keys is clear and the keys are black with white letter/numbers, but don't allow the background light to penetrate.

Yes transparent.. but the backlight is dimmed and the letters or not visible during night time.

It is clear silicone with black and white paint over the keys. The keyboard light is visible around the keys but not through the letters on the keys.

If you have the option get the clear silicone. I ordered clear and a green one the letters and words don't match up on all of the keys on the green one and makes it a bit blurry

The letters are see through, hence transparent, as well as the edges; just as the picture shows. The rest is black and flexible like silicon.

Yes, it is a silicon keyboard. I find the keyboard very difficult to use and it hasn't really gotten better over time. Planning to change out my keyboard at some point.

No it doesn't allow for the backlight to show through.. I removed the keys after one week. The wooden keys give the macbook and distinct look, but it's not very functional.. Hard to type papers for class when you can't feel the indentions on the keyboard

I bought the black one and yes even that one was transparent enough to see the Apple on the Mac when not on. But I returned this product because the sizing way off. I checked the model number of them laptop and the product to make sure it was a match before purchasing. Perhaps you'll have better luck and they'll actually send you what you purchase. Just FYI also the quality of the cover is cheap an seems like it could damage your Mac by scratching and so forth . Hope this helps.

Hi! I too don't like the slim keyboards. Yes this keyboard is perfect with a Mac. I have a Mac. And very easy installation. It's a great keyboard, but just so that you are aware before you purchase, it is a noisy, clicky keyboard. I happen to like the sound but just know that it isn't quiet. If you are talking on the phone and typing, the person on the other end will definitely hear you. All said, I am very happy with this keyboard.

While not key board cover is perfect this one is the best to date that I have found for a macbook, to be honest I had to double check if it was on while typing this. You get used to it, and it is much less noticeable than other covers I have used. I have a 3 year old so its a necessity! And well priced.

This replacement keyboard is black not grey or silver. I did replace the silver one in my laptop and it works fine and looks great, you'd never realize that it is not the original keyboard.

Apparently the 13" and the MBA now have the same sized keyboard. Be advised however, that this skin has printed letters on it. The MBA's backlit keyboard won't shine through. :(https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4052556

Hi Janet, I am sorry I cannot answer your question as I never tried it on a Mac. But it didn't hold up at all. I looked on MaxiAids for you and it seems they carry the same brand. Google large key keyboards and see what you come up with. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

No black apple. The skin is see-through. You can see the apple that is on the back of the pad through the thin cover. Note cover separated in a week.

Thin silicon that covers over the keys. Not sticky, just lays over the whole keyboard. Silicon is clear in between the keys and black on the keys with white lettering for each key.

Black on black would look the best. I have a white ipad and bought a black case because I did not want to see all of the dirt on a white case and keyboard. It looks fine. You only really see the white front of the ipad when it is open. When closed it appears to be all black.

I have a fairly thick silicon skin on my iPad and they don't work with it. To be honest I don't put them together to use the keyboard. I'll type with the keyboard and walk around leaving my iPad on a table. I also will sit at a table typing and prop my iPad where I can see it. I enjoy having the flexibility. I was kind of annoyed about it at first but it doesn't bother me.

Yes it does... I bought my MacBook Pro around that same year. The wooden keys look great, but you will have to get used to the wooden texture while typing.

I damaged my 2007 macbook pro keyboard with water and mailed away for a replacement keyboard. The company that sent my keyboard sent the wrong keyboard and I will never do that again. I eventually took my computer to an apple designated repair facility known as DI-NO in Pasadena and it was worth the difference in price. The work was done skillfully and guaranteed. If you are thinking of purchasing a replacement keyboard online, I urge you not to do it!! P.S. It's extremely difficult to do the replacement yourself...again, don't try it!!

I purchased a black cover. The finish is smooth but you should be able to put a sticker on it without trouble. The illuminated Apple icon shows though the cover as well.

I have a macbook pro 13 inch, and it fits mine perfectly. Not sure about other keyboard layouts! Sorry
