Bet its just the usual wear problem. In my case the original roughened surface to the keytop proper has gone smooth on the same keys that have had the lettering fade, so its clearly a wear effect. > The rest are still fine. My wife uses that keyboard on a daily basis. I do use mine most of most days. Rather more than most would use a keyboard. > I currently have the MS Natural Pro, but not long > enough to make any observations about wear. This was only in 6 months, tho admittedly it does get a lot of use.
