He can't type by touch, so this is a HUGE issue for him.)



Again: how long does the keyboard lettering last? At this point, I'm almost more crazy about that, than anything else, but my wrists simply don't last on a straight-layout keyboard. I have to limit my nighttime typing, on my Lenovo TP Yoga, for this very reason.

P.S. I can't see that DB photo, but I'll copy the link and see if I can view it that way.

Thanks!

On the Matias, at least, they are described as "laser-etched keys". Since that's what my Northgates have, I can give you a projected life on the keys. >15 years, and I type hard on mine every day, pretty much all day.
