I figured I'd stick some blobs with a different feeling on those
keys but that wasn't very successful. Then I figured I could to use
a few braille keytop stickers for those keys.


WOW! The price for those braille stickers is so high!!! *I'm in the
UK and get hits like this one which costs about 20 pounds sterling
(almost 30 dollars)!! *That's just gouging.

If I had to pay those crazy prices it would be cheaper to buy
another keyboard, take the key caps, bash some dents from the
inside with a hammer & nail, and put them on my keyboard. Only
trouble is I need to mess about matching the key caps.


It's got to be easier to get some cheap "bumpy stickers". Where can
I get these from in the UK without paying ridiculous prices.


How about just getting an embossing labeler?

Use a small file or a Dremel tool to notch the key edges.
