Do the labels on the keys wear off quickly? My Goldtouch from a few years ago wore off within a few months of use. Seemed cheaply made.

I've been using mine for over a year now and I spend at least 8 hours a day on my PC and have had no issue with the labels wearing off.

I have never had that problem. If it's truly only been a few months, I'd go back to the manufacturer for a replacement. Good luck to you!

Yes, mine keys on the old one did disappear. I have only had this new one for a few months, and it is a huge improvement over the old one in general, but I don't know yet how long the letters will last. I am hopeful!

I have not notice the keyboard getting hot. I do not use it for a long period of time. As far as the letters on the keys lasting a long time, I only have used it for a short time. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

It has precisely the same sound as the rest of the keys. I complained earlier that keys were sticking with increased regularity. A few months into using it, this sticking problem seems to have worked itself out. I do not know whether this is a result of a break in period or change of season. :) I am happy with the keyboard's performance now and would recommend its purchase.

Not much. I think there might be a slight difference with how easily the keys are depressed and the surface texture of the keys. The other junky keyboard I have has keys that can stick and this has never happened to me with this keyboard

Yes, similar to detached Apple iMac keyboards. Has good feel to keys, not a cheap feel. I am happy with this keyboard which I have now used for over 6 months. I read many complaints about space bar but have had no problems myself. Touchpad works great, I think earlier reported problems were software related, I've had no problems.

There is a very small amount of movement whenever you touch the keys. It is much more noticeable at first -- I thought I'd never get used to it -- but after a week or so I didn't notice it at all. If someone else uses my macbook they will often comment on it -- because they notice the difference in "touch". It's definitely worth getting used to, though -- a clean (and dry) keyboard is a happy keyboard!

Mine seems to be the same and I've been using it for over 6 months now if I recall correctly. Haven't noticed the letters rubbing off.

The keys are made from a similar material so I'd guess that they both will be susceptible to dirt about the same. After nine months, mine shows no visible dirt. Using a damp cloth ought to keep the keys on both keyboards looking good. I'd also recommend avoiding eating Cheesy Poofs when when you are using any keyboard.

I do it all of the time! Especially when my keyboard quit syncing to my iPad. No fears, though, they sent me a new one!!

Good morning ArtGirl -- I have had my Tactile KB for about 2 years. No problem on my iMac --install or use. . It has strong sound when typing, the response from the keys is solid and robust compared to the slim KB. I like the sound, solid feel and response. Good luck.

Shelley, I do have the iPadAir and it dose well but I must say that the keyboard has problems of keys coming off and now the "F" key sticks. I am trying to find a way to see if I could get a replacement for this from Kensington. I'll let you know how that go's.

The keys are laser etched. This means they will wear significantly slower than keys that are only printed on, but they will not last practically forever like the old IBM keyboards that actually had a separate black piece of plastic inside the keys instead of only a top layer applied. Consider the cost of the product, you will have to pay significantly more to get that type of keyboard because they're considered a niche product and also tend to have mechanical switches in them that further raises the cost. To make any keyboard's key markings last as long as possible, only use it with clean hands, clean dirt off before it builds up much, and above all keep your fingernails trimmed short.

I have had no problems with the keys imprinting on the screen. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I am a little slow getting to my emails. Take care.

I've gone through 3 of these keyboards. The keys and the springy part under the keys are plastic, not metal. This makes them wear out over time. I do A LOT of typing, so it stands to reason they'd wear out faster with me. If you do only moderate typing, it should last you at least a couple of years. All 3 of mine lasted a little over a year.I've never had the mouse die on me. I've given them away as I replaced the keyboard. The M510 mouse is awesome, and I can't stand any other mouse! It's spoiled me. Feels good in your hand, not too big/small, good range for receiver, can be used by righty or lefty, LASTS FOREVER!

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.

I would not recommend this keyboard. I had it for about a month with little use, and some of the keys stopped working. I recommend going with a better brand.

yeah they are plastic, but I think labels would stay on without harming the keys. the letters and numbers on the keys might come off with the label if you remove it, though.
