    Nobody has ever claimed that. I had one of these some years ago: Das Keyboard[^]

    With the second advantage being that nobody else than you can use it. Did you switch back to a keyboard with labeled keys then ?

      Are you implying that ALL the keys should have lettering on them? I vaguely remember that... My Dell laptop[^] was 3 years old last month... Stops anybody from borrowing it! :laugh:

        The semicolon key[^] :-D This keyboard isn't too old - a few years - but the A, S, Shift, and CTRL keys are worn smooth, you can no longer see the labels. E is fading fast, and you could brush your hair in the reflection from the space bar ... but the semicolon looks pristine!

        I wore a pit in the C key of my last keyboard. I'm not sure what that says about me. :sigh:

          I thought one just needs to put "Senior Developer" next to their name and that made it so. I had no idea the magic really resided with the keyboard. I am truly not worthy.

            Only A and S? Not also W and D?

            Since these can't rub off - try to apply a solvent known as water to remove all that dirt. Maybe a protective suit may also be in order.

            I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

              You need to come up with better variable names?

              I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

                I would have figured if that was the case, I would have broken my "i" key clean off by now.

                    I am a senior and I have been a long time developer. I have broken a few keys and keyboards in my time, but I am not in the same league in terms of keyboard wear. Can't type that fast.

                      I started using laptops with built in keyboards. Have so far not seen any laptop with unlabeled keys... :sigh:
