How well do the letters on the keyboard last?

I have used this keyboard for about a year and half every day for work 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week. Only the 'S' key has worn down a little bit. Seems to hold up pretty well. The mouse on the other hand, the rubber surface on the sides gets a little funky. Still my favorite wireless mouse and keyboard set.

I had no problem with the letters wearing out or fading? Had one for 5 years. This is a good key board & mouse combination in my opinion. This is the 3rd one I have bought.

I have had this keyboard for 7 years, using it daily for hours on end, and all but A and E are as good as new. Keys get a bit shiny, but the letters themselves are quite durable. About a third of A and E are rubbed off, but that's the extent of it.

I dont know the answer to that question. I have been using the keyboard for only 1 month. It seems that the letters are printed on the keys in a traditional way, like other keyboards. Just dont know how long they will last yet. Talk to me in a year.

The first Adesso keyboard I had did have some letters wear off. But, you can find adhesive letters to stick over them. I took clear nail polish (matte finish) and painted over the most frequently worn letters and they seem to be holding up just fine. It is worth keeping this keyboard irregardless of the worn letters since I mostly touch-type but as I said, you can find adhesive peel and stick letters to apply to your worn keys. Hope this was helpful.

Honestly No!! they are super easy to work with. I've had them for some time now and the sticky part that sticks it to the keys has not worn off which is great.

The keyboard has been very easy to type on once you get used to it. As the previous reviewer says-it would be better with a back-light. I find that sometimes a key will "stick" for a few days and then mysteriously work fine again. I don't know why that happens and its a nuisance-but it may be due to something I have done. Other than that-its been a fine computer.

I have had these on my keyboard for about 9 months when they started to wear through the common letters, s,t,a,r,e. (Daily 8-12 hour constant use) Interestingly the letter portion sits to the upper left corner so even though they are wearing through in the center I can still see the letters. I will probably give them another month or so and try replacing them again. So for $50 keyboards to get another 9-12 mos I would say is worth the trouble.

I write about 3000 words on an average day using this keyboard and never had such issues - as far as hardware quality and response is concerned, the keyboard is excellent.

I'm not a pro typist or gamer that spends countless hours banging the keys and I haven't had the keyboard for that long so I don't think I'm qualified to answer that question with authority. That said, the keys so far look perfect and even if they fade or something in the future, they are all replaceable and I would just get new ones. Hope this helps!

don't really use it much so no wear is apparent. But keys are smooth without any indention. Keyboards are so inexpensive I'm not overly concerned about longevity. Good luck.

Some of the keys stick occasionally. Seems like the T, is the one giving me the most trouble. I still love this keyboard. I am not a very fast typist, so It doesn't interfere to much.

I am really surprised because I ordered this Keys U See keyboard on October 26, 2013, and it is still going strong. I use it a lot because I teach online, so it has stood the test of long hours of paper grading each week. :-)

Yes, they printed the letters deep (or put several clear layers above them). My replacement E sticker is wearing through, but I can still read the letter when I glance down. I seem to wear that key out first on every keyboard. Hehe. The stickers don't move, no matter how fast you type. Except my arrow keys are too slick and small. I gave up putting stickers there.

I can't speak to that. I had trouble with the letter keys. They "pop" on to the keyboard. The first day I used it the letter 'a' popped off I never did get it to stay on. Impossible to type anything when you keep having to put the letter back. I was surprised at the poor design.

I've replaced my keyboard 3 times. Love the keyboards, but some of the keys eventually stick. I have figured at how to remove and clean them (without breaking) and it helps.

I don't use the keyboard as often as I thought I would but I use the case to protect the iPad. The battery on the keyboard does last a fair amount of time but seems to die when needed most.

The battery lasted multiple times of me using this keyboard for several hours. You have to be careful to turn it off when it is done. I haven't had to replace the batteries yet, though, and I have used it maybe 5 times for 2-4 hours each.

Although my keyboard has had limited use, I have had no problem with letters disappearing. On one occasion I dropped the keyboard and it struck a hard object. The "8" key was knocked off but nothing broke. I was able to snap it back on but with difficulty because the catches that hold the key in place are sturdy.

I haven't had an ounce of trouble with the eMachine, I play games all the time. My only problem is the letters wear off the keys.
