What can you do about very hard to read keys on a computer keyboard? I hate
to replace it as it still otherwise works. I hunt and peck so need to see
which key is which.
TIA

You can get a brand new generic keyboard for less than $15 just about
anywhere. Other than that I guess masking tape and a sharpie permanent
marker should do it.

Thank you. It would indeed solve my problem. But it is rather expensive
and, plus shipping, may be more than an inexpensive replacement keyboard.

i think new keyboards are relatively inexpensive,
but just make sure you get one you like,
such as identical to the one you have...
[that might mean going out to best buy, or somewhere you can try it out]

My 1988 IBM Model M keyboard looked brand new when I bothered to clean
it -- until I spilled coffee into it. Same with its 1996 replacement,
which needs some attention. I think the labels are molded into the
keytops.
Keyboards are personal. Real shame if we fall in love with one that
isn't worthy of our affection.

Of course. We buy keyboards at yard sales for $1...
Masking tape and a sharpie is about as cheap as it's possible to get.
