    Any of you who have been using your M6s for a while now, do you notice "shine" on your frequently used keys?
    I know it's probably a natural thing... but I want to know how many of you notice it [ :)]
    It's most noticable on the right side of my space bar... the place I press most frequently

    ASUS M6800Ne, P-M 1.5 Dothan, 512MB Ram, Tohiba Combo drive, Samsung Spinpoint M 40G HDD with 8M cache, Mobility Radeon 9700

    I've got the shine on most of my keys as well as the left side of the chassi where i rest my left palm. I think its because i play games and right hand is on mouse while left hand is on keyboard, and during intense games i think my hands sweat a little haha.... thats all...

    you'll notice that more on the keyboards with translucent keys like the M6....... No big deal, $40 and you can replace the keyboard.

    Thanks,

    No, but for a new keyboard... and if it bothers someone enough to make a post about it, I'm just letting them know that when it becomes unsightly, they can replace it.

    Thanks,
