a reliable backup

After nine months, the keys still work flawlessly and no paint has worn off. I thought I'd do fine once I got used to the oddball Enter key layout. I was wrong. Even after all this experience, I find myself typing gibberish because I haven't positioned my hands correctly by feel. The paint didn't wear off, but it turned gray on my most frequently used keys. At night, I'd have to turn the lights up just to see where to put my hands for touch typing. A detergent solution didn't seem to help. Neither did alcohol. Contact cleaner seems to have helped somewhat. If my desk were as well lit after dark as it is during the day, the graying wouldn't matter. I don't know why I keep being frustrated over hand positioning, but for me, some brands work better than others. I'll buy another keyboard and keep this for a spare.
