Dumbass laptop keyboard

Yoshi pointed out to me the other night that the letters on my laptop keyboard are already starting to rub off.

Now, this wouldn't be a huge deal (since I know how to type) except for two reasons:

1) Some of the laptop keys (like function keys) are located in different places than a standard keyboard

2) The keyboard has the Chinese keys painted on them. And I don't know how to type in Chinese yet.

So far the letters that are suffering the most wear are the e, h, k, and n keys. I think I'd better take a photo of this keyboard so I'll have something to refer to in a few weeks when all the letters disappear.

I replaced the entire keyboard in my client's Dell Latitiude. It only cost $39 plus shipping.

my keyboard (for a regular pc) is just like a laptop keyboard...at first i hated it...who am i kidding? i still hate it, really...but i've grown accustomed to it...the only thing that truly sucks is that my keyboard at work is more "standard", so i think my fingers sometimes get confused...heh

My laptop suffers key wear for E, R, T, A, S, H, N, and M. Mad pecker! Could be nails too, hmmm.

Are you spelling "henk" an inordinate amount of time in an average day? And what does "henk" mean, anyways? *ponders deeply*

get a new one...still under warranty? I'm so lame, I'd be putting little masking tape stickets on the keys...

Organize your life...get a label machine. I have a Brother P-Touch machine to label everything. They have tape that is see-thru and some that aren't. label your keys :)

If you'd like, hell, I can make the label and send it down to you.

I just made the letters label, send me an email and I'll send it to you via postal.

I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm a pounder... but still...
