Keyboards

[billski]

I need to replace my keyboard. The "home" bumps on the F and J keys has worn just about complete off. I also have callouses that exacerbate the loss of tactile response.

Getting new key caps is not worth the effort.

Do you know of a keyboard with more pronounced "home" ridges?

Wow, nicely done billski! I've worn the painted letters off most of my keys but I've never worn down the home ridges.

I had the same problem at work. Replaced the keyboard there and all was fine once more.

If you look at this pic, the J key is worn down so far that the tactile response is nearly undetectable.

I'm looking at the ms ergo, since it splits the keyboard in half.

Indeed, that is oddly impressive...

Maybe I write to Dr. JeFF too much!

I just walk into my IT dept and say "hey, I need a new keyboard" and they hand me one.

Billski, you have some muscles in those index fingers of yours!
