I went to my friend?s house and needed to check my emails, his keyboard freaked me out. He actually wore down the keys; some of them had holes and deep groves in them from his fingers and nails. I touch type and when I put my hands on his keyboard I was like ?what the hell?. The whole keyboard felt really weird.

I have seen the letters get rubbed off but never have seen anyone use the keyboard and go through the plastic keys. He has only had the keyboard for a few years. After I made a few comments about it he replaced it, wish I did take pics.

You should start a webpage or something.

It would be easier for me to ignore.

Left side of the board looks like it's been burned or something. Even ignoring that how does one get a keyboard that dirty without replacing or cleaning it!?

He doesn?t touch type, he taught himself his own way to type I think when he was 8 or 9 on Tandy coco. Like I said I have never seen anyone wear through keys, don?t see how it didn?t break.

I never understood how people can wear off the wasd. I mean, I've played a ton of games on my keyboard's life, and it has never shown to start wearing off.

Maybe if it's a cheap keyboard I guess.
