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!
If surface feeling is your only concern, you may look into getting some trackpad stickers from aftermarket. I've had dbrand skin before this mod and it felt fine. There should be a bunch of variants with different textures on places like etsy. 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.
