computer keyboard

I'm asking for advice. My computer keyboard is somewhat hard to see, but not too difficult. Has anyone trie thed stick-on labels for the keys? My computer doesn't have backlit keys.

Thanks

Sara

  1. that's a very good question. I haven't tried them myself, but I just looked, and there are certainly a lot to choose from online. Do you have an Apple or PC computer, and is it a laptop or full size computer? They seem to come in different colors and backgrounds, and they aren't expensive. What colors do you think would suit you best? Wendy, Patient Leader.

    1. I have a full size HP keyboard and added the Bold stickers. They work well and are easy to see. They stick like crazy too. I used tweezers to get them placed and they don't look bad at all . I got mine at Amazon. Good luck and happy typing. They have really helped me. Debby Gentry

      1. Yes! I purchased a set of bright "fluorescent" yellow stick-on PVC letter/number/symbol labels about 5 years ago because the original markings on the keys of our expensive ergonomic keyboard had mostly worn off. The stickers have been EXCELLENT! Completely solved the problem. All stickers have lasted intact and are as bright as when brand new. The keys are quite visible in even very low light. Highly recommended. Just be careful to follow directions about thoroughly cleaning the key tops prior to applying to guarantee they'll stick well. There are many brands to choose from on Amazon, priced about $6-8.

        Now, if only I could still see the monitor screen clearly for more than 5 minutes...

        1. I had the same problem. With unlit keys and lettering to small, got sticks from Amazon. Problem solved!

          1. Wow. That must make a big difference. Thanks for sharing what helps. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
