Does it write on plastic? Will it rub off easily. I want to re-letter the letters on a computer keyboard.

It does write on plastic and dries quickly. It might wear off with repeated use but it doesn't rub off easily. It will scratch off though.

Has anyone had problems with the keyboard "sticking" on the last letter you typed? (Like thisssssssss)? It also will not do an upper case I--this just started today. Am wondering if I need to return this.

Yes, it is not ideal for writing on. Plastic, it's one solid piece, real flat. Just the top is rubbery. I hope that helps. We love ours, it's perfect for my son.

it will work on the glass, if the glass will display the keyboard like semi-opaque, all you need to do is break the detection plane when typing. It is a little hard to see the characters and I recommend you get a piece of paper or something to put under it if you're using it on a layered reflective surface like glass or a mirror as the laser light will bounce or go through the glass making the keyboard hard to see.

Not well. I think it's a water-based ink. It is kind of splotchy on most plastic - and ....I just tried wetting my finger after it dried for 5 minutes and could easily wipe the ink off the plastic. Then I tried a red and a blue "Sharpie" brand permanent marker - the most common type of permanent felt tip marker pen - and couldn't remove the mark after it dried for a minute. However, the calligraphic pen is permanent on paper - and the pens stay good for years - sometimes even surviving when they are left uncapped for a while. And their chisel points keep a nice shape too. Makes average handwriting - like mine - look fantastic. enjoy, Roger L. Not well. I think it's a water-based ink.

I've gone through 3 of these keyboards. The keys and the springy part under the keys are plastic, not metal. This makes them wear out over time. I do A LOT of typing, so it stands to reason they'd wear out faster with me. If you do only moderate typing, it should last you at least a couple of years. All 3 of mine lasted a little over a year.I've never had the mouse die on me. I've given them away as I replaced the keyboard. The M510 mouse is awesome, and I can't stand any other mouse! It's spoiled me. Feels good in your hand, not too big/small, good range for receiver, can be used by righty or lefty, LASTS FOREVER! (provided it doesn't get dropped a lot) I've gone through 3 of these keyboards. The keys and the springy part under the keys are plastic, not metal. This makes them wear out over time.

No, once you write on them they get covered with a plastic layer to protect the writing from coming off. After that it's a done deal

I would be leery of using it on a keyboard. Since it's a liquid gel, it has an ever so slight oily quality that's great for touchscreens, but might make lint and what not harder to clean out of the cracks on a keyboard. But you never know. I'd ask Tech Armor, if they thought it'd cause any problem when used on a keyboard. Regardless, like every spray on cleaner designed for electronics I've ever seen, the instructions state to spray on the rag first, not directly onto the components themselves.

most likely its its plastic is really noticeable. its not like the texture of a pen.

I had that same problem with all my previous keyboards! But the letters on this one look the same as they did when I received the keyboard. I use this keyboard every day - very amateur writer - for quite a few hours a day and they're still "all here". They haven't started to disappear bit by bit like the letters on my previous keyboards did. So, this keyboard seems to be solution so far...

The first Adesso keyboard I had did have some letters wear off. But, you can find adhesive letters to stick over them. I took clear nail polish (matte finish) and painted over the most frequently worn letters and they seem to be holding up just fine. It is worth keeping this keyboard irregardless of the worn letters since I mostly touch-type but as I said, you can find adhesive peel and stick letters to apply to your worn keys. Hope this was helpful.

Nope. That's why I bought this one. I already had one and the 'keys' on the mat were black and it did cover them. It's flimsier than the one I had though. Can't hink of a way to describe other than this is more plastic like than rubber like. I would prefer the rubberery (if that's a word) but in rewality I use the keyboard on the machine only when traveling, so I mainly use the regular full size USB keyboard. I may buy another (assume the pricier ones were the rubber type) one later but suits me fine for now.

Its like an actual laptop keyboard. So I would say its more a durable plastic.

I'm sorry Jean. I don't know the answer to your question, but I can tell you that it is very slow. I am a hunt n peck typist and even with my slow speed, it would miss letters because it was still sending the previous character. I liked the big, easy to read keys but gave up on it because of it's speed. Haven't had the speed problem with any other keyboards. Good luck.

I tried it on regular typing paper and it worked fine! My guess is that using it a lot on paper might dull it to plastic. My son has been cutting his picks from used gift cards!

No. Don't use this on plastic. If you're good with a brush, consider getting copic white opaque ink. Look on jetpens.com for that item (and better prices).

I have had mine for a while and I have not noticed any warmth in the keyboard. The letters on the keys have not faded or come off. Have not noticed any of the keys sticking at all.All in all I love this keyboard and wish I had gotten it years ago.
