Where get tactile keytop sticker for keyboard
I have some custom functions assigned to some keys on my keyboard.
I want to mark those keys so I don't have to look down and confirm I'm pressing the correct key. 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. http://www.adapt-it.org.uk/products/...p-stickers.asp 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. |

Why not just assign the keys and use them? You'll soon get used to where the keys are located like I did when I first used Winkey. |

Each key runs a special function from a macro which does a lot of work. If I get the wrong key then I get a real mess. The markers are a safety check. |

The markers are a safety check. Touch typists do not need such safety checks. If the wrong kb macro creates a "real mess," perhaps you can design better macros? You might program every macro to display itself on screen, without the last Go command, then require a separate CR to execute it. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Depending on how many you need you could use shirt buttons filed to
different shapes and attached with a cheap glue gun. Or just globs of glue or silicone. |
