Does what I wanted perfectly! I bought these because they are bright yellow with big black font to differentiate my home keys from the other keycaps on my new ergo-keyboard. This will help me visually train where the keys are. I love the results! No Mac command-keys if you need them if you’re a Mac user like me.

I am so old that I learned to type on a manual typewriter, so my heavy touch on a computer keyboard wipes the letters off in no time. These stick-ons take only seconds to affix and voila! I don't have to buy new keyboards every few months.

Used this for my daughter 's laptop she has low vision. The letter's are fairly large and adhered well to the laptop. Shipping was quick. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is the price. I find it very expensive for some letter's.

I needed something that would let me see the letters and characters on my computer keyboard while it sat in its drawer, which does not get any light after it gets dark out. I had tried small lights at the top of the drawer but leaving them on all the time was not practical as the cost and availability of the batteries it needed was not feasible for me. These stick on letters and characters answered my needs perfectly - the characters are not only large but the yellow background highlights them perfectly even in the dark drawer, and the price was certainly reasonable. Included in the set were all the letters and characters I needed except for 4 special keys native to my computer setup, which was very understandable. They were fairly easy to apply, and if they ever wear out I will be sure to purchase another set. Thank you to the manufacturer for providing several basic stickers in 2 different sizes which I appreciated as my keyboard is 2/3 size instead of full size.

I wanted to be able to see my laptop keyboard more clearly and I chose this set because it comprehensively covers almost all of the keys on the laptop including the spacebar with stickers that fit this Gateway laptop. In some cases I rotated the stickers. In a few cases I did trim some of the stickers. I decided to put the FKey stickers and a few others above or below the keys (even though the stickers would fit) because these keys also have special functions. I used a toothpick to orient and place the stickers. With care it is easy to place them. All round a very good set that did exactly what I wanted.

These have been a great help for my brother-In-law, who was given a laptop for his 85th birthday. He vision isn't the best, and he was having difficulty reading the keys. These stickers have worked for him

These stickers are super awesome and fit the bill very well.A little history, I was given one of those Keys-U-See Large Print Keyboards which yes you do see those keys without a problem, but the action of the keys left a lot to be desired.I did not like the feel of them at all.Next was a Azio Large Print Tri-Color Backlit Wired Keyboard (KB505U)When I first got it; I thought it was the best human interface computer device to come along since the "Intellimouse Wireless Explorer mouse from Microsoft" That was until all the keys started to stick after about 6 months of use. It got to the point where the keyboard was basically useless. so in a last ditch effort I popped the keys off one at a time and spritzed a little WD-40 in the sockets where the keys plugged into. This worked fine for awhile, until the keyboard started generating it's own characters without being touched.OK it was trash before I tried this failed experiment, but I really liked this keyboard when it was new, so what does a dummy like me do?Yes I ordered another identical one to replace the last one and this one done the same thing after about the same amount of time, but this time I used Vasaleane to coat the moving parts.This seemed to work well for almost a year. Then something went wrong and the letters I pressed were not the correct ones on the screen.This was quite interesting and terrifying when I tried to type my password to access my Windows Welcome screen. Thinking something might have crashed and corrupted my operating system or maybe a hacker gained access to my machine and changed my password, so I unplugged the keyboard and tried it on my laptop with the same exact results...OK that was close.Then I got one of my old Dell keyboards out of my collection of misc computer hardware. I have always liked the feel of these old Dell keyboards, you know the ones you normally see just about everywhere you look, like for instance the doctors office, hospitals, government offices and I saw these Dell keyboards being used at the DMV the other week when I went to renew my registration for my license plates.These keyboards are very compact and don't have all those stupid 'Hot Keys' nobody ever uses, but the tiny white letters on black keys is impossible for me to see. If only I could make the keys yellow with big bold black letters; I would have it made. And wella after doing some research I discovered these stick on characters and ordered a set and applied them to the old Dell keyboard and after rambling on about all I said above, all I can say is these are great and I'm going to order several more sets and apply them to all my keyboards, including my laptops. So if your old and half blind, I would highly recommend this product.

They have worked very hard to make these stickers a useful addition. They even go so far as to cut notches on the stickers for the "home" keys -- F and J -- so that the little bumps can stick up. My only issue is as much with my keyboard as with the product -- the thickness of the sticker makes those bumps harder to feel, a definite problem for a touch typist. One solution might be to trim across the bottom of those two stickers to free up the entire bump (nope, tried it on the J), or perhaps add a couple of strips of the waste material, to emphasize the difference in feel. The only other infelecity is that the lettering can be too visible. The capital keyboard "9", for example, is "(", and on an unmodified keyboard I barely notice it. The font and layout of the "9(" sticker makes the "(" more obvious than the number.They give you two versions of the function keys -- a large version for the top of the keycap (if you have big function keys), and a small version for the front. This is for use with keyboards (like mine) that have additional function labels (Help, Undo, Redo, etc) on the top. They do not, unfortunately, provide those additional function labels, but since I never use them (I use Ctrl-Z for undo, for example), I don't miss them. So I've put the small stickers on the top of the keys.Installation Tips: You need a sharp knife or sharp tweezers to get underneath each sticker. What worked for me was to apply them in the order they appear on the sheet, not the order on your keyboard. You will be folding the used part of the sheet under, to help peel off the stickers, so it's easier that way. Since I'm right handed, working from the upper right to lower left of the sheet was best. Also, if your keyboard isn't one of the ones directly supported, be prepared to trim the stickers - scissors are fine. For example, the SHIFT keys on my ergonomic keyboard are not as long as the stickers, and the SPACE key is thinner in the middle. The glue on the stickers is pretty strong, so once they stick, you're stuck. OK, if there's a tab hanging off, you can sometimes grab that with the tweezers and pull the sticker off for repositioning. Othewise, you risk damaging the sticker (like I did, when I put the PG UP on the PG DN key). I would recommend you start with some peripheral keys (like the arrows, or PrtScn ) for practice before applying the important ones.Despite the issues I mentioned, I'd strongly recommend them for anyone with keyboard readability problems due to vision or key wear.

Bought these stickers as I have recently had sight problems and could no longer see the black keyboard on my laptop. Was pleasantly surprised to receiver two sets! Very easy to put in place and have made it very easy to use my computer. Put some of the extra set on my microwave buttons and they have mad life much easier. Would recommend without any hesitation.
