Wired? You ask? Well for starters, the last thing I want is something ELSE in my house that requires batteries. That being my chosen direction, leaves me with very few options in this itty bitty town, and even in the neighboring town with way more options. All we have is a Staples and Wal-Mart, and I ain't buying electronics from Wally! I usually get the Logitech K120 because it has these nice bold characters that are easy to see. BTW, Yes, I do have to watch what I'm typing because I never got good enough to type w/o looking. The action ain't too bad for my likes, and the price is nice. Problem is, I go through 1 of these a year. Since it's a cheap keyboard, the characters are also cheaply printed, they usually start wearing away after around 6-8 months. I tried a Dynex model last year, only to realize the characters were so thin, I could barely see them.
Today I went and got a new one, but I had a little brainstorm that might get me past the 12th month. I grabbed a bottle of thin CA and 5-6 Q-Tips, and started coating the characters. Didn't think it was necessary to do the whole key. Anyway, if the CA can stand the abuse of my two finger hammering, maybe I'll get a little more mileage out of this one. And for what it's worth, I only needed 1 Q-Tip to get the job done. Got a favorite keyboard? Let's hear it.
