    Hi,

    I've bought a superb keyboard which doesn't display any symbols. I find it sometimes frustrating (especially for symbols like §, which I frequently fail to hit and which results into closing Word).

    Do you think that by adding these

    French QWERTY transparent keyboard stickers

    Will I be annoyed? (lack of comfort... I don't know... :/)

    Thanks!

    I.E. : do the letters on the regular keyboard are sticked to the keys or painted?

    Different keyboards have the letters on in different methods.

    Some are lasered, some are actually injected as part of the key, some may just be cheap paint.

    I have a das keyboard also, just did the review on it actually. But I have the one with the letters on it already.

    Alright :p I'll keep it this way I think.

    I kinda know touch-type (well I use like six fingers). It's just for these commands like ctrl + c (where you don't position yourself first) that I have a hard time.

    Though, I'll try to perfect my touch-typing technic ^^

    That is the whole point of the blank keyboard anyways is to force you to type better.

    Why not just buy the model with the letters on?

    I thought I had bought the model with the letters on. I'm slowly becoming accustomed to it. Anyways, the feeling is definitely nicer than the feeling of my GX640's keyboard :eek:

    By the way MonPireSire I was thinking. I would not mind trading you if your up for it and we can manage cheap shipping to each other.

    I have the Professional version with the letters on it, and I actually would prefer the blank version.
