warn out key... fix for tinkerers
ok.. it really irked me that my lettering on my keyboard wore off after a fairly short time
and i cant say i have ever had this happen on my other keyboards but its like this
corsair has a problem in the factory... anyway it was 2 keys and you cant just get 2
keys so i found a good way to fix it... i lightly sanded off the all the black part with a
fine sand paper which i laying around the house....
then
find a letter the same size or print one up... mine
was from a corn chip bag..(perfect). i cut it out stuck it on the key with a glue stick....
painted the black bits in with a black marker carefully scrapped of the corn chip S
and then covered it in really good glue that dries clear and has great bonding.....

the only problem was i did side ways.. which if funny... but its still heaps better than
what it looked like...

thoughts..

what keyboard?

if its a mech, just look on ebay/amazon for a key set
keys that are double-shot have 2 plastics, and will never wear off the letters/numbers

its a cheap Corsair Gaming K55 not worth buying a complete set of keys...

i did look around but i should of taken it back... its a manufacturing design fault...
it was a big blob of black that fell off not a warn out thing..... all the other keys
look brand new still and its about 3 years old now.....

i did ask the sellers about it.. but it was out of warranty by then...

When the "D" keycap broke (2nd time) on my old mech keyboard, I ended up substituted with an "F" keycap (closest match in profile size)

... So yeah, I got 2 "F" keys now.

EDIT: changed "key" to "keycap"

k55 is not a mech keyboard

with any mech keyboard you can replace any letter/number key with any other letter/number key
rows might be slightly different angle, but they can work

you can get individual k55 key caps for $4 ea + 5 shipping
https://www.ebay.com/itm/174797185702

or an entire k55 keyboard *used* for $20 + 10 shipping
https://www.ebay.com/itm/157200105966
looks like the 8* key is broken, but you can pull others for your keyboard

spending $10aus or more for one key seems like madness to me and thats
why i made this post...... a cheap fix that works....

my spare keyboard is $5aus if i spill something on this one and need to wait
to go shopping the next day.....

My fix is a old marker and empty corn chip bag and some really good glue...
come on... its probably now better than the other keys on this board..... hilarious...

i am not a keyboard expert or really into keyboards and have had many keyboards
that i find interesting and good.... this one has lights... but i also had a MS ergo for
a very long time.... and never had key letters ware off so quickly like this thing....

plus i did go to the store... thats my only real extra waste of time and money

This is why some keycaps are more expensive than others. Different materials will experience wear faster/slower than other materials. Different manufacturing processes will result in different lettering properties in regards to that wear.

If you have a cheap keyboard with cheap keycaps they are likely ABS with UV or pad printed lettering; which will wear off and the keys will wear to a shine over time.

like i was saying its process fault in the key making... the other keys are fine...
no ware at a all....what did interest me while i was researching replacements
is two colour plastic mould keys.. the letter is one colour and
the rest is the other colour so no change
what so ever or real ware what so ever..

even my cheapest keyboard has never had this problem....

and silicone membranes over the top... that stops everything
and protects as well... take it off clean put it back on... i'm looking into
that now...

i also have a keyboard connected to my tv that works for program
searches which i am sure a lot of people dont know about but if your tv has
a usb slot and you use the online features a lot... better than a remote for
sure for some specific program navigation stuff...

White nail polish also works but I just leave them as they are because my keyboard not only has the most used key letters worn off but also has wear indents on the plastic.

Funny thing about this $10 Logitech keyboard is that it is 8 years old but still going strong.

nail polish is a good idea also... white for letters or clear and black if you have lights....


but if a lot of keys are warn and you dont mind then thats just as fun...
i do have a $5aus keyboard just in the case of a emergency and i cant
say i have had any real problems with any keyboard apart from one that
did get stuck keys and space bar over a decade ago...
