Letters

I was just curious which letters on your keyboard are wearing off which keys the fastest? Mine are E A S O and C.

 

none on mine

 

I use "Q" a lot ...... everything adds up to or is equal to "Q"!!

 

I don't know it seems to still work fairly well

none of them

 

Some of the paint on my 'D' key is slightly faded, other than that, no problems whatsoever.

 

None, I use Keyskin to protect my precious MS Natual Kyeboard. Its 8 years old and still going strong after daily use.

 

Been having some problems with my space bar lately...toomanyshortwordsIguess.

 

Too many short words eh!!...thats keeping it brief! Wasn't that a JB thread?

Well timed question


Have just replaced the cheapie optical keyboard/mouse used for the past 6 months - due to being unable to read the L, N, E, O, I as the letters have worn off completely leaving no trace, while the A, S D K, U, C, M, H & T are faintly readable still. Think it was aiming for stealth mode

The just-retired yesterday, keyboard was bought as a "disposable" due to the oversize 17" CRT that used up all the desk-space & left no space for the keyboard on the desk. It was used via a lap-table or resting on the arm of the arm-chair I use & of course was subject to frequent falls and occasional accidents with spilled coffee.

Couldn't see any point investing in a decent keyboard while the survival of said keyboard was still so at risk. It wasn't viable until the original monitor was replaced in mid Jan with a 17" TFT creating desk-space ( am v physically disabled and it took the loss of a 3-4 keyboards to sort out the "how to viably have coffee within reach & keyboard in proximity, safely = travel-mug" due to incidents of uncontrolled movement ) but other issues with the PC took precedence until this weekend.

The new one is a spill resistant design, just to stay on the safer side

Added a Gig of RAM tonight to run the 80Gb, only had 256MB physical RAM & was using 80% of it just ticking over. So it's on it's way to a leaner, cleaner, faster machine & it's very useful to be able to read the keyboard again.

If only it had auto "anti-typo's" I'd be set!

That would be great.....but then we'd be unable to use
slang and things like that!

Trust me, I used a spell-checker once before.
It's basically the same.


Otherwise looks like you've got it all set !

 

Don't be silly Nittie,

Us'ns don't youse no slang...wees tells it like it be!

Whuts awl dis about a spel chekker....hoo neads it!

Speaking proper in Panama, prim Nat

 

I've been using this keyboard for over 6 years and only have faint wear on A, E, O, and N.

 

Getting a bit of a 'shine' on a few keys...

 

You are suppose to use your hands some on those keys Buckie..not bang them with your bananas after they are ripe. If you had two s's then you could toot your own horn in harmony

 

Hey....our B'day Buckie is holding up two fingers (of bananas)! What could he possibly be trying to tell us?

Congrats on your new found skill !!

Now we can skip your posts before looking.........





Reading blindly between the lines in big Letters, Nat

 

Most of the letters around my index and middle fingers are hard do see.

Here is the keyboard I want to get. This would solve that little problem

I just looked down at my keyboard and noticed the letters on my right Shift key are wearing off. The "t" is gone and the curved part of the "f" is gone to. I'm just glad the long part of the "h" is gone. Better is says "Snit" than--well--no comment.

 

Why is it that every time I type the word "BEANS" my gas detector alarm goes off??

 

B...E...A...N...S! Dang...there it goes again!!

Ooga...Ooga...Ooga!!
