Keyboard Marks on M1 MacBook Air Screen

Anyone else having issues with their M1 MacBook Air keyboard and enclosure leaving marks on the screen? I regularly clean the keyboard and periodically the screen, and don't use a keyboard cover. I don't normally take my MacBook anywhere, and I take care of it. It is stored on a desk every night outside of a case. There is nothing that would cause this besides poor design. The other annoying thing about this is it also means that any dirt/debris that happens to get on the keyboard and isn't wiped off before closing the screen will be ground into the screen, potentially leaving permanent marks/scratches.


Is this a known issue, and has anyone had it rectified?


Thanks,


Richard.

I think this is a static issue. you can lay a piece of non static paper or thin chamois over your keyboard before you close the screen.
