Posted: Jan 23, 2013

Cuz the letters are worn off!  I need letters on my keyboard like a Nascar driver needs turn signals.

Mine are worn off also, do you not just love it? - P

Anyone who sits down at my desk not only cannot type because of the worn off keys but also fuss about the height of "my" chair. Love it.

mine had holes worn thru the keys! - OHMT

I had to have a tech guy come out one time to work on my computer. He sat down & looked at the keyboard and said, "Wow, you sure type a lot!"

ha ha same here. - J

Someone was using my computer for something and he was like, "Hey, why don't you have letters on your keyboard?" I never even realized they had worn off until then:)

Best Keyboard
Jun 21, 2011

I am going to be looking for a new keyboard.  I see most of you seem to like the split keyboard.  When I tried that at one time I couldn't get used to the 6 being on the wrong side of the keyboard (I use my right hand for it), for one thing.  Is this something you just get used to or do you all not have that problem to begin with?  Does anyone have an ergonomic keyboard that is not split that they like?  ...

Need New Keyboard
Sep 13, 2014

Hello all, I am in need of a new keyboard.  I am using a Goldtouch now but the keyboard configuration does not really work for me, specifically the cntl, alt, and windows keys, as well as the home key.  I hit the wrong keys frequently, too much, and it hurts my production.  I do like the "touch" of it though.  I would like something that feels the same, a little bit spongy but not sticky.  Any suggestions.  TIA. ...


Keyboard
Jun 25, 2015

Hello, I am using a Microsoft split keyboard that is just about worn out and would like to know what most of you are using now. After using a split keyboard I do not think I could go back to a regular keyboard. Also, I keep the keyboard slanted to the left slightly which is more comfortable for me, probably because I am left-handed, but it does make to getting to some of the keys on my right hand a little difficult. Anyhow, just curious to see what most of you are using now. Thanks. ...
