XSKN Hebrew Israel Language Black - Review

As someone who often types in Hebrew, I was thrilled to come across the XSKN Hebrew Israel Language Black Silicone Keyboard Skin. This product promises to make typing in Hebrew easy and comfortable, without the need for stickers or complex software installations.

First, let's talk about compatibility. The XSKN skin is available in the US version and is designed to fit MacBook 13" and 15" that were released prior to 2015. This includes model numbers A1278, A1286, A1297, A1342, A1369, A1398, A1425, A1466, and A1502. It also fits the Apple Aluminum Uni-body Wireless Keyboard, Model A1314. It's important to note, however, that the skin is not compatible with newer MacBook Pro models that were released in 2016 and beyond, or with the 2018 MacBook Air model with Touch ID.

The skin is handmade, and XSKN is the original manufacturer of these "Keyboard Art Skin" silicone covers. The company promises that the skins are durable, thin, and soft with a cashmere feel. I must say that I agree with this assessment. The XSKN skin feels very nice under the fingertips, and the keys fit snugly over the keyboard.

One thing I noticed about this skin is that the key height is deliberately lower than on a standard keyboard. According to XSKN, this is intended to provide a better typing experience, especially after long periods of typing. I found this to be true; the lower key height felt more comfortable for extended typing sessions. Additionally, the skin provided a nice quiet typing experience, which is great for working in public places.

In terms of quality, the XSKN skin is made from high-quality silicone raw materials that ensure no extension with long-term use. Every detail is clearly printed, and the imported ink keeps it looking good over time. The rubber coating helps to keep the skin in good condition, even after frequent use.

One thing I appreciate about this keyboard skin is how easy it is to clean. According to XSKN, the skin can be cleaned by placing it in boiling water or washing it with soapy water. While I haven't tried boiling it, I did clean the skin with soapy water, and it came out looking as good as new.

Now, let's talk about some of the drawbacks of this product. As mentioned before, the skin is not compatible with newer MacBook models, which may be a dealbreaker for some users. Additionally, some users have reported that the skin can cause the keyboard to heat up more quickly than usual, although I did not experience this issue myself.

Overall, I would highly recommend the XSKN Hebrew Israel Language Black Silicone Keyboard Skin for anyone who frequently types in Hebrew. It's durable, comfortable, and easy to clean, and it provides a nice typing experience without the need for stickers or software installations. While it's not compatible with newer MacBook models, it's a great option for users with older models who are looking for a high-quality keyboard skin.
