Just wondered if anyone has the same trouble as I do with keyboards. I must have something in my skin that wears off the painted letters on the keys in a matter of months. Yesterday I tried to get some letter that perhaps stick on the keys but no luck. In the end DH bought me a new wireless keyboard and mouse. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to stop this happening.

You could use clear nail polish on your keys, but I'd take them off before painting....just in case.

I type so much I have no letters left on my key board too. I bought a paint pen at the craft store and repainted the letters back on. They I put a little clear nail polish on top. It keeps the letters there for a while. Suzanne

Hi airyfairy, I have just read out your message to my husband Keith, and he said you can buy a keyboard membrane, he said that he uses one on his keyboard. hope this is helpful to you. Regards Lorraine McNeill of South Australia.

I wonder if I can get that here in South Africa. Thank you for your answer.
