Some of the letters on my keyboard are beginning to fade away, due to constant use. What can I use to 'paint' them back on again. I used to be a touch typist once, but I have lost me touch over the years, and need to see the letters

Thanks Straykitten. Never thought about any of those, and had bought a new Tipex the other day.
Many thanks again

Hi Julia.

How long have you had your keyboard, or do you just use it a lot?

I would also suggest, that maybe a new keyboard, might be an option?!

Hope that you find the correct option for you.

Hello Lanarkshire Lassie, I've had my keyboard just over two years, and it is a lap-top. I noticed the letters beginning to fade quite early on, and I use it every day. I will try Straykittens suggestion

Hello Polly Poppet - can you buy these in white, as that is the original colour of the letters, and where would I buy one from
Many thanks
