Keyboards...

So -- I use my Dell keyboard for a year or so, and I wear off all the vowels printed on the keys. If I was a touch typist this would not be a problem, but I'm not -- not quite. So, I also have some interesting vision oddities that make working with a high intensity lamp a Good Thing. But, if I'm just working with the skylight, or the overhead light in the office, I literally can't make out the keys -- I need that white glimmer to lead me home.

So -- we go searching, and find a decent ergonomic keyboard, from Microsoft, plus a Logitech mouse (Cordless! FINALLY!). I start using the keyboard.

I've had it, oh, maybe two-three months.

The E key symbol is 3/4 gone, the S 1/2 gone, and the A and O keys have been nicked.

I have the same problem. First thing I do with a new keyboard is paint all the keys with clear nail polish. Takes me about a year to wear off the polish. Then I repaint before the lettering goes bye-bye.

I considered that, but was afraid I'd react to the nail polish. So, now I get paint first, then nail polish.

I used to have an ancient computer keyboard. Wonder where it is....
