I mean redoing the trackpad covers seems like a huge pain in the ass.

Yeah, you’re probably right, but I’d want them done right, if I choose to change it :) They’re not bad as they are, though.

Hey that’s great to know! I agree: the amount of effort to remove them is a little silly. I found that the best way to do it is to pry it from the corners. There is a PCB underneath with traces on the surface, so you want to be careful.

Although, I like the surface of the originals better, and seeing that they fit nicely on yours, I might swap them back.

Cheers!

I just did this same swap in the same color!

I see that you kept the original trackpad surfaces. I considered this a lot. Do they rub on the chassis at all? Is there anything else you did differently that you like?
