Episode notes
Don't Use Magic Eraser On Painted Keycaps
- Avoid using Magic Eraser on ABS keycaps because it abrades the plastic and can leave residue in key mechanisms.
- Prefer PBT or double-shot legends for durability and avoid harsh abrasives on painted backlit keys.
Why Apple Keycaps Wear Through Paint
- Apple uses clear injection-molded keycaps painted with layers; wear reveals clear plastic beneath creating visible shiny patches.
- PBT keycaps avoid that painted-wear problem but complicate backlighting and double-shot legend processes.
Choose 16-Inch For Sustained High Performance
- If you plan sustained heavy workloads, prefer a 16-inch MacBook Pro for better thermal headroom and quieter fans.
- Avoid the 14-inch M3 Max if you need sustained peak performance; it thermal-throttles sooner and runs fans much louder.
