My accent keys usually have fingerprints on them or they come off from typing Spanish and Portuguese. The tilde
key is one I use often in Portuguese because I rigged my keyboard to produce the nasalized vowel marking by pressing a tilde and then the letter. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I have a habit of using only my left thumb on the shift key so the surface wears
unevenly. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

On my old laptop all the keys wear down but on my new one they look so as new, and when it’s bit dark the
light’s on and the keyboard’s beautiful ☺ the light is under the keyboard and light up those letters and symbols. yesterday the “A’ was very annoying: it was necessary hit it!!! Today it’s ok. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I’ve a suggestion: we can tell which colour the keyboard is and the letters. maybe one colour is more quickly wear down. Also, which type of keyboard.
my keyboard’s grey: the keys are light grey and the letters look like dark grey but I think that they aren’t: they are transparent because when the keyboard’s light’s on those letters are lighted. it’s Macbook Pro 15” and I have it since one year ago, approximately. It’s American International keyboard, which we chose, it’s not the standard here, but completely different QWERTY (here the people have AZERTY). I prefer the American one because of all the things for example ß, ñ, ü. it’s weird, now the spellchecker accepted “colour” but yesterday changed it in “color” 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I tend to write the Russian letters onto the keys with a permanent marker, or whatcha call it, those water proof felt tip pens. I have to repeat this every month because they pale away. Should buy those little cyrillic stickers.

My keyboard doesn't have any letters, numbers, or print of any kind on it. All the keys are blank.
