Anyone else have problems with the lettering wearing off the keys? Update: So far so good sent Sharkk an email on Wednesday and received an an apology and a request for a photo right away. Sent the photos yesterday and did not expect to hear anything...

Yes but I don't need to look at it to know what I'm hitting so it's not a big deal to me... Plus it was a cheap cheap keyboard that works great lol

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.

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!

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!

Although I can only offer an opinion as I don't know this for a fact but I do not believe these keys are etched. My old standby was etched and just died like 6 months ago. It was still as nice with all the characters crisp and clear as when I plugged it in for the first time. I did not realize how rare this was until I saw other boards much newer than my old one that looked 4 times older with shiny blank or chipped character keys. Sorry I could not be more help with a definitive answer. I can tell you so far, the print is fine but it has only been 7 months max.

no, but my wife is the owner, she uses it quite often and no keyboard problems. Maybe you used them too much or are hard typers? good to know anyway. You should consider replacing the keyboard, it shouldnt be pricy.

I have been using mine for a while now and none of the keys stick on it. It is better than most small keyboards I have used.

D. Kaminsky, pls give us some details on the death of your SoundSticks II. As a current owner I'm very interested in knowing how helpful & co-operative H_K is in resolving your issue. I hope they deal with you fairly & quickly. Personally, I thought their website was a nightmare to negotiate.

I agree that if the keys or the mounting system for the keys get damaged, this might make for a difficult repair - the primary defense against this is to be careful and not let these things become damaged - put the thing back in it's case when it is not being played... Sorry if this does not help much...

I know the answer is too late, but I had a similar issue. Started with the Ctrl key, and it then happened to other keys. I contacted Logitech via email about this. The next morning I had a response asking for proof of purchase/receipt. I emailed them my Amazon invoice. The next day I had a return shipping label. It took 5 days M-F to get to them, and another 5 days to get my replacement. I got a brand new keyboard from them. I was expecting a refurbished unit or just have the keys replaced on mine. I was very impressed by the service (honestly, I wasn't expecting such an effortless and pleasant process).

I had that same problem with all my previous keyboards! But the letters on this one look the same as they did when I received the keyboard. I use this keyboard every day - very amateur writer - for quite a few hours a day and they're still "all here". They haven't started to disappear bit by bit like the letters on my previous keyboards did. So, this keyboard seems to be solution so far...

Our space bar had issues too. We returned it when the seller said they could send out another one. 3 weeks later I hear they are out of stock! When searching the internet, it seems lots of these keyboards have this same defect.

The company that supplies it for Amazon is not very good in the customer service department. In fact, the keys were sticking on ours and, thank goodness, I brought the problem to Amazon's attention first. They emailed the company on my behalf. When I called Amazon a few days later to say they still hadn't responded, the company finally did; saying we were over the 30 days!!!!! Amazon got right on it and thanks to their guarantee, we now own a functional keyboard, with sticking keys - FREE OF CHARGE!!! My advise: go directly through Amazon...

I have had no problems with the lettering coming off. I have only had them for a few weeks but I do not see that being an issue.

I am sorry for what happened to your keyboard, but I have not had any problems with keys falling off. My only problelm has been the function of the keys with how one would normally type on the computer. Nothing breaking, cross my fingers.

lHi Pamela.. I just received my keyboard for Christmas so I can't really give an honest opinion at this time. I don't believe that they are painted on but if I notice any difference such as fading I will let you know. Ron Aubie

Yeah I get smudge marks from my most used keys. I ended up putting a small price of cloth over the keyboard when I close it to prevent from happening.
