Keyboard marks on Macbook Pro M1 14" screen
After 1 year of use some permanent, non cleanable marks appeared on my screen. Specially spacebar marks and adjacent areas of the mousepad where the hand stands while typing.

I try to avoid putting pressure on the display when carrying the laptop because there is so little clearance between the display & keyboard. This has always been an issue with Apple laptops even back on the 2012-2015 Retina models and the clearance is even less today. Keep in mind Apple does place a piece of very thin foam/cloth between the display & keyboard when shipping the laptops from the factory even though the laptop is within a very sturdy box. I don't recommend putting anything between the display & keyboard except perhaps the original material Apple used from the factory or you risk cracking the glass and/or LCD panel.
The keys are rubbing the anti-reflective coating from the Display. You can have Apple check the laptop to see if they will do anything. I know that Apple has a secret free repair program available for the older models, but I don't think that program applies to Apple Silicon Macs. Even if the program is valid for Apple Silicon Macs, I don't think the coating is affected enough to even qualify for the program. Apple has some very strict guidelines for determining how bad the anti-reflective coating issue must be especially if it is just the key impressions.
Is this an advertisement? Everytime I want to use my keyboard I need to put this thing on, then take it off, and carry it around with me. That's not a solution. It's a design flaw.
Same on MacBook Pro M2 :(
so, any solution yet? it's been a while
Are you sure that the alcohol will not react with some kind of protective layer on the screen? I wouldn't use alcohol.
I use a keyboard protector and it still causes issues. I would't recommend it.
Same here with a 14" MacBook Pro M2 Pro. I'm using a microfibre cloth now, but I already have some irreparable damage on my screen...
Hi, how bad were the scratches on your screen so that they agreed to fix it for free?
No official response from any Apple's representative?
There will be none here. This is a community of end users like you and Apple does not respond here.
