chintzy keyboard worn letters

[Harry Putnam]

I need a little coaching on what keyboard to buy on line. The kind of
junky stuff at Best Buy (dynex) begin to loose clarity on certain
letters withing 2 weeks... and keyboard on my gateway laptop is even
worse.

I have old keyboards with the old style hookups that lasted literally
for yrs and are still completely clear...although maybe worn shiny the
letters and numbers are basically still pristine.

The older boards appear to have the letters etched into the surface,
where as the new junky dynex appears to have something like
decals.. or that is, the letter/numbers appear to be a some kind of
applique, and they wear off way to quick.

Looking around on line, its hard to tell if the numbers/letters are
any different than what I have.

Can someone vouch for a currently available (usb) keyboard that has
long lived letters and keys.. even better... letter/keys that are
recessed into the plastic slightly.

Oh, and what should a keyboard with lasting letters/numbers cost?
