    I was looking at an Alienware today and quite likes the bold thick lettering on the keys.

    Do people not prefer this kind of bold lettering on the keyboards? Most of the keyboards have diminutive lettering.

    Can you post a pic or two to compare what you saw?

    I would say most keyboards have 'bold, thick lettering' - but I don't really look at them - I can touch type.

    Thanks,

    Actually, comparing to an Asus, a few VAIO's and a few Logitech keyboards I have around here, the letter 'boldness' is the same.

    What makes them stand apart is the outline around the edge of the keys.

    I don't really think I care for it. :)

    I wouldn't really prefer it, seems like a specialty thing. Definitely not standard on any business oriented notebook. As long as they move away from chiclet styled keyboards!
