How Keyboard Stickers Make Your Life Easier

These are times where most people spend a big portion of their day on the Internet in front of their keyboards. Whether they work on the Web or just like to spend time connected to it as a form of recreation, the keyboard has become an important part of modern life. Remember that your keyboard is the right tool for audio, video and graphic editing as well as a variety of other needs.

Customizing this modern day tool is a inexpensive easy option to make your life easier. For just a few dollars that won’t stretch your budget like some of the other gadgets out there today, you can create a keyboard suited to a number of a different special uses with keyboard stickers.
Here’s just a few things that keyboard stickers do:
  • Keep your keyboard looking new. You sit in front of it day after day and after several weeks or months of use it can start looking worn. A new set of keyboard stickers is often just the thing to freshen up the look of your keyboard and your spirits.
  • Allow you to add additional characters. With the right stickers you can create a host of different shortcuts for specific software or even other languages.  Adding keyboard stickers is all about convenience. Remember that you can take these stickers off at any time. They’re useful but not permanent.
  • They are cost efficient. You could get a keyboard cover that could do some of the same things but you’ll need to open up your wallet. Covers often cost twice as much as the stickers. Many countries have a recycling fee to exchange the keyboard that’s the same as a set of keyboard stickers.
  • They save space. Software companies are notorious for releasing new updates constantly. Why go through all the trouble of getting a new keyboard or keyboard cover each time when keyboard stickers are just as good? Remember here that a custom editing keyboard can run you as much as $200 and you’ll still need to try to stay ahead of the updates. With stickers, you wont need to have a closet full of outdated keyboards. Unless you want to. With the money you’ll save on the keyboard stickers, you’ll be able to afford more than one keyboard if that’s what you want.

The different ways that keyboard stickers make your life easier is virtually endless. You need to be aware that as fast as technology moves, designers haven’t been able to come up with a keyboard that can keep pace like keyboard stickers can. Keyboard stickers move with the changing times to help you adapt to new software quickly.
For the price of a cup of coffee (that’s what a set of these stickers costs) you can even get a new set of language stickers and keep using that same old keyboard you know so well to learn a new language. You can even teach your child to type with the right set.

Keyboard stickers can make an old keyboard easier to use

For the last decade or so, a typical computer keyboard will usually last me only about two years before I've worn the letters completely off of six or eight keys. That's not a big problem for a touch typist, but when you've worn away the letters, punctuation marks and symbols off three or four keys on the same row, it starts to get a little more serious. Or it could be that the eyes behind my trifocals aren't as sharp as they used to be. You may notice your own eyes bouncing up and down from the keyboard to the screen and back looking for specific keys. Maybe it's a little of both.

Standard replacement keyboards are not that expensive and almost always included when a new computer is purchased. On the other hand, what do you do if your expensive wireless or ergonomic keyboard is missing a few critical letters or the characters and punctuation symbols on your standard keyboard are getting harder to read? Remembering that a couple of companies make sets of sticky key labels for foreign languages and a number of office or graphics software packages, I looked for "keyboard stickers" on Google. Once I got past the designer keyboard stickers with flowers or flames and the glow-in-the-dark keyboard stickers for those red-eye flights across the continent, I settled on what looked to be a no-nonsense website and checked out www.4keyboard.com.

You can pick from a wide variety of languages, colors, and special applications. They even have stickers for the smaller keys found on netbooks. Compared to the cost of a new keyboard - particularly the $50 or $60 for a new ergonomic keyboard, less than $6 plus shipping for a set of keyboard stickers didn't sound like too much to spend if it would help.

I actually ordered a set of "English US LARGE LETTERING Keyboard Stickers (Upper case)" on sale at $2.66 plus shipping. These particular stickers are available in black, grey and white to match your keyboard. The stick-on key labels arrived in about a week. The "F" and "J" key stickers were even notched to clear the small bumps that help a touch typist find the home row on the set I ordered. I read the online directions and gave myself a couple of hours to work on applying the stickers to the keyboard. You can check out the vendor's online instructions at http://www.4keyboard.com/page_2.html.

After disconnecting the keyboard, I used a little alcohol on a soft paper towel to clean the top of each key. The stickers are fairly stiff but do use tweezers to hold the sticker so that you can more easily rotate and align each sticker individually. Take your time and plan ahead. Sometimes it is easier to rotate the keyboard to help find a steady spot to hold the tweezers and sticker while your other hand aligns the sticker and presses it down when properly aligned. My Microsoft ergonomic keyboard also has several keys that are slightly different sizes than the standard keyboard. In a couple of cases, I used a small razor knife to trim any surplus sticker after the sticker was applied to the key.

NOTE: If you click on the picture, check out the original size of the characters on the Backspace and function keys. You can also see the right-hand shift key sticker was trimmed to fit the slightly smaller key on the ergonomic keyboard.  The very dark black areas seen on the space bar, "N" key and several other keys now covered were worn perfectly smooth by heavy use.

I now have a keyboard that I can read out of the corner of my glasses, and the much larger, high-contrast letters are certainly easy to see. In the unlikely event that the keyboard lasts longer than the current sticker set, I can easily afford to replace any stickers again. In any event, I'll consider the keyboard and stickers a "long-term test."
