The Tippy Type is a keyboard cover for MacBooks
I could have predicted that even if the article never mentioned it.

I guess its for mac book but on a real keyboard just replacing the caps with tall ones that loft from square to a circle at the top would be way better and less floppy
There actually is an easier solution for this kind of problem: Nail clippers.
Someone didn't read the article. She addresses exactly this.
I can already hear the trolls making jokes about women being concerned about breaking a nail. If it’s so inconvenient, why not just have short nails? Well, I’m not out here wearing long nails for fun. Being a reviewer often means acting as a part-time hand model for whatever gadget I’m testing. The Internet Nail Police has repeatedly shown up in my comments over the years if my polish is chipped or, god forbid, there’s a smudge of dirt under my natural nail.

I read the article. It still is the better solution.
You can't have a solution if you ignore half of the problem statement. It's completely unhelpful.
Problem: I want to be able to type better while having long nails.
Your solution: Don't have long nails.
Sometimes, project requirements are shitty from the start. This one definitely is.
exactly. the only kind of self expression anyone needs is going on lemmy and making smug comments.
as someone, who could have been a professional classical guitar player, I am insulted.
?
(Classic guitar players have long nails)
I prefer the trippy tribe 🥴
I guess a mechanical keyboard with round ketcaps would do the trick as well. Not the same budget though...
Kinda cool but shit $45 for a piece of silicone those margins are insane.
Yeah but it's for Macs so what do you expect
Honestly-I always wondered how in the hell women with nails even just a little bit long typed comfortably on a keyboard. I figured it was either a) not a big deal or b) a super pain in the arse and another example of the world (for whatever reason) not making a simple product to solve a simple issue (like bandaids that match people’s skin color for example).
Now I know! :)
Phones must be a bitch as well…. The solution to that might be a bit harder to pull off…
My SIL has long nails, and watching her use her phone and laptop is just fascinating. So many problems I just never even considered...
It's about the angle, you cannot orient it towards your pads as much on a laptop.
I've always wondered about wiping one's ass. Seems like you'd want a nail brush handy to wash up every time.
