SWMBO treats her keyboard like her piano, hitting the keys more in

fashion. The result is that the letters on the keycaps wear badly. A

of stickers has worn even more quickly than the originals. My

is
hardly worn at all, but it's a Microsoft ergonomic one, which she

to
use.

Can anyone recommend a keyboard (not wireless) with really
hard-wearing
keycaps?

Teach her a lesson:

That reminds me of the keyboards in trading rooms;

Well in my experience of dealing rooms traders do need to be treated
like
kids - everlastingly having to pick up their rattles from the ground
under
their pram G

Too bloody true. You also need a keyboard that can survive having an
expensive noise cancelling telephone handset repeatedly smashed into it.

One police control room used to go through several mice per shift. A
particular operator used to hammer the mouse ball though the PCB then
swapped mice with another workstation. took
CCTV to see what was going on.


Got called out to Long Lartin Cat A prison one night - 'keyboard not
working' - When I got there the screw was lying back in his chair with his
hob nail boots resting on the keyboard!

Mind - got called out to Albany on the Isle of Wight one night, just managed
to catch the last ferry out of Portsmouth, got to the gates, shift had
changed, previous shift hadn't logged my coming with the gate and was
refused entry! Spent an uncomfortable night on the slip way in the back of
my car, knowing full well there'd be another but this time angry call in the
morning.
