My very old Dell keyboard's letters and numbers all rubbed off. I bought a set of stickers but they didn't last long either. So I bit the bullet and bought a new keyboard. My old one was a plain old basic one that came with a desktop a few years ago. So I bought the plainest one I could find on amazon but it's still different and full of typos. lol.

Oh and I didn't know they made stickers either. That is a cool idea!

I started off with a split hand keyboard, but when I bought a new keyboard it came with a black one to match the computer and since my old keyboard had stuck keys I made the switch. What I didn't anticipate is that I needed to start using a desk lamp in the evening to see the keyboard which was a problem because I went to a sleep doctor who said the reason I was having problems going to sleep was I was in a bright environment right before bedtime and my body wasn't naturally producing serotonin. So I finally switched back to a split keyboard and initially it was a bit of adjustment but now it's fine.

I got a new keyboard and mouse this week too!! My old one had rubbed off letters, but that wasn't an issue for me - my mouse was starting to go. While I was at it, I decided to replace the keyboard since they came as a set. I ordered the exact same set, although it had some small tweaks since 6+ years ago when I got mine. I work from home so I get a TON of use out of my keyboard.
Well, it arrives, it's all lovely and great, the mouse is fabulous... and then I type. Soft type keys. No clicky clacky noises. WHAT?!
I am about the loudest typist on earth. In college I had another student TAKE OFF HER HEADPHONES in the COMPUTER LAB and ask me to type more quietly. I really had no idea I was a loud typist until then.
So now I am a quiet typist, by force. DH says the house is much quieter, LOL.

We just got a new iMac and the keyboard doesn't have a number pad. I once had a job doing numerical data entry so I was in the habit of using it often. Driving me crazy, but I don't want to buy a new one. It is nice and tiny.

I don't need to look at it for most things but for some I do (navigation keys, function keys, etc). But dh uses it sometimes and he does need every last letter and number to be showing. The stickers kept moving around and some slid 180 degrees which was a whole new kind of confusing for him. LOL.
This one has soft keys too, and my old had loud clacky keys. I prefer clacky but I'm sure everyone around me will appreciate the soft keys.
I'll never buy a laptop or keyboard without a number pad. Been there, done that, and hated it.

I will admit to using a paint marker to write the letters on keys that rubbed off. It worked well until DH saw it and gave me a new keyboard.
