For $15, you can turn your notebook computer into what looks like a box of Lego. Those keys are in fact stickers which sit atop your MacBook keycaps and turn the keyboard into a sea of dimpled plastic bricks.
The stickers, made from easily-removed vinyl, come from Etsy-seller openandclose. They're kind of neat, but the toy-nerd in me can't help spot the non-Lego elements in these "Lego-style" bricks. First, the colors are way off. Whoever heard of pink Lego?
Second, the circular nubbins are too small on the function keys and too big on the letters. Only on the spacebar do you see anything approaching Lego-like proportions. Going by the shadows, though, it looks like openandclose at least made the stickers in real 3D, and didn't just shade the tops to look as if they are raised.
Available now, for you to buy and use for five minutes before ripping them off in a fit of annoyance.
