Whywiki, I am tough on my keyboards, I hardly have one long enough to wear off the letters on my keyboard. I live some days at my desk between work, and pleasures such as mylot. I have spilled coffee, soup , soda and tea into my keyboards, once a piece of pizza cheese side down on to one. in one year I went through 5 of them.

Hello whywiki,
That's an interesting question because, I did notice it but I don't know how it got there. Letter 'A' on my keyboard is completely blank and 'M' and 'N' are half out from the right side. Have to do with my angle of strike, I guess!

Well, it might be that very well, since the right side of the keyboard has got so many vowels, and those are the ones which are used more in avearage words that we type. Maybe that could be the reason why left side of the keyboard is used more! Just check the words here too!

Yea, i didnt really try to explain it. Basically the wasd keys are like the arrow keys but used in fps games by the left hand for running forward/backwards and sidestepping. Its a really basic thing and its a requirement if you want to have any skills in fps games, since the wasd keys have a nice lokation. You can also use the arrow keys but i find that you end up with both hands to close to eachother, getting a cramped feeling.

The tab key on my keyboard is actually gone! The plastic key popped off and hasn't been seen again. There's a rumor that it was seen in Puerto Rico.

I just took a look on my computer and fortunately all keys on the key board are intact and none is having any problem or have gone light. I think this shows that my computer usage is surely much lesser than yours. I am employed and have less time to spend on the computer.

I guess I'm lucky enough to keep the letters still visible, though I've been using this keyboard for almost three years now!;)
That must be the cause of having a sweaty hand and fingers, the letters get worn off easily. My hands are dry, so that must be a plus for me(?)!=)LoL

When I was working, the first key to go, believe it or not, was "X" but then again, I was always putting "TX" in and for some reason the x went first.
then all the letters on the "home" row, then "T R E" and the numbers on the number pad
Now I've just got most of the letters on the left hand "home" row, because I move my right hand off to mouse or use the numbers.

After ruining many a ball mouse, I now have a laser mouse, but I'm on my second one of those too. I have them on the keyboard tray and I keep the tray pretty much shoved under the desk to keep certain members of the opposite species out of trouble when they sneak in.

Of course, it is natural. The key most used becomes blank on the key board. Due to rub or hit it again and again. But it is also depend on the quality of key board. I am using key board of my lap top. It is three years old and I feel the key board is as same as it was on the first day I had purchased it.
