- Worn faded keyboard - 7 Updates
| KenK <invalid@invalid.com>: Oct 19 01:45PM 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 know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |

Other than that I guess masking tape and a sharpie permanent marker should do it. |

It would indeed solve my problem. But it is rather expensive and, plus shipping, may be more than an inexpensive replacement keyboard. -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |

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. -- Cheers, Bev xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "It is a matter of regret that many low, mean suspicions turn out to be well-founded." -- Edgar Watson Howe |

Masking tape and a sharpie is about as cheap as it's possible to get. -- Cheers, Bev xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "It is a matter of regret that many low, mean suspicions turn out to be well-founded." -- Edgar Watson Howe |
