A tippy type is an invention for people with longer nails that solves the issue of discomfort and inefficiency while typing. Specifically, it’s a modified silicone keyboard cover.
It was designed with people with long nails in mind, but technically anyone can use a tippy type. Even those without long nails can enjoy the comfort and fun that comes with the 3D, velvety feel of a tippy type.
We recommend this model of tippy type keyboard cover for up to medium-length nails (think medium in the Apres Gel-X extension line…which is quite long!).
To L and XL queens: we are working on making a different model for you! Join our email list (sign up in the footer of the website below) for updates!
tippy types are intended for use with Apple and PC (Lenovo, HP, and Dell) laptops.
Currently all tippy types are made with the USA return key (seen on keyboards sold in the USA; it will not fit European or Japanese return keys). We are in the process of adding international models with different return keys and lettering.
MACBOOKS
Please check your model/year. There are small variations in Macbook keyboard configurations in different models/years.
Unsure what model you have? It’s simple. Click the apple icon in the
upper left corner of your screen. Your model will appear in the ‘about this mac’ section.
If you have one of the following models/years you will have a PERFECT fit:
MacBook pro 13” 2020 – 2023
If you have one of the following models/years be aware that your esc key will be partially covered by a tippy type esc key but it will still work great and this does not impact functionality!
MacBook Air 15” 2023 – 2024
MacBook Air 13” 2020 – 2024
MacBook Pro 14” 2021 – 2024
MacBook Pro 16” 2021 – 2024
MacBook Pro 13”+15” 2016 – 2020
Note for touchbar models: your touchbar includes an esc key so you will not use the Tippy Type esc key. Also, your right/left arrow keys will be partially covered by the Tippy Type right/left arrow keys but, again, this won’t greatly impact overall functionality.
MacBook Air 13” 2018, 2019 Note: your right/left arrow keys will be partially covered by the Tippy Type right/left arrow keys but, again, this won’t greatly impact overall functionality.
