Just be aware that it's for an American keyboard, so may not have a £ symbol (the Americans being American!).

The only part that has worn off is the logo on the palm rest.

Re: Yet another new keyboard
I have the same problem with my keyboard on my laptop. within the year letters started to disappear! and now I only have about 8 letters showing!I'm a touch typist so it shouldn't bother be really, but I find myself hitting the wrong keys and having to look back and correct my words LOL.
I've had the stick on letters from Amazon and they come off just the same (well they did with me) so now I have a permanent white marker pen (from ebay) which I penned the letters on with and then clear nail varnish over them.
when the varnish starts to wear off I just go over it again.

Re: Yet another new keyboard
Ah, so the stick-ons aren't any better.It's funny isn't how you look at the keyboard more once the letters start disappearing! Daft even!!
Since I last posted in this thread, the O is completely gone, and the A has probably got another week's life in it! The E might last another 2-3 weeks! I'm good for a while yet!

Re: Yet another new keyboard
So it's not just me! I thought maybe my skin secreted some kind of acid that disolved the paint. How long have computer keyboards been around? Why is this still a problem after all these years? Am I the only one who's complained about it? I complained to Microsoft and got no response (big surprise there), and I've posted on blogs and forums and now on here.This is the first time I've had confirmation that it's not just my problem. Why has nothing been done about this? Is it beyond the ability of even the mighty Microsoft to make a permanent paint?

Re: Yet another new keyboard
I have a spare Mac keyboard, which I prefer, but some keys work differently, so it is back in the drawer.Years ago, I worked with a South African, Mrs Lillian Malt. She studied how compositors worked, and she designed the Maltron Keyboard, which had the key set in two "bowls" relating to the length of the digits. They are still made, but for specialist applications. See http://www.maltron.com/shop/category/141-united-kingdom
