Question

Keyboard letters wearing off

Sep 27, 2015 12:00PM PDT

I have a Samsung NP700Z3C-S02UK and I love the spec and performance but I am on my 2nd replacement laptop and 3rd keyboard as the same letters keep wearing off of the keys and I am desperate to find a solution to this. Can I paint clear nailvarnish over the top of the keys? Samsung have not been able to provide me with any help.

Just last week I popped a new keyboard onto my work supplied laptop. Yes it was 50 bucks but worth every dime. Nice idea on the polish. Why not?
