Why Do Keys On Left Side Of Keyboard Wear Away Faster Then Keys On The Right (8)
Hiya Monts 
Maybe the most commonly used letters are on the left side of the keyboard...not sure. 
I've had my standard keyboard for quite a few years and none of the letters are worn on it.

Ccincy: Go out and buy some small stick on lettering.
i had to do this. it's too expensive for me to replace keyboard. the stick on letters last about a month, and then i have to do it again...
my friend bought his computer at the same time. his keyboard if fine. one day while visiting me, he noticed me on keyboard and the mystery was solved..
my nails are medium long and i tend to let the my nail tips hit the keyboard because of the size of it, so now all the letters are worn off.

Stick on letter wouldn't work IMO.
Technically we're supposed to type the ball of our finger. If we did that our nails wouldn't scrape away the letter. When I was working I had very long fingernails, now they are short but as I'm typing this I noticed that the end of my nail hits the key on the left side but the ball of my finger hits the key on the right side.
Isn't that strange?

i don't think so. i find the letters are small on my keyboard which doesn't facilitate using the pads of my fingers easily. i also have carpel tunnel which limits the sensitivity of my finger tips.

Ohhhhhh, you must be using a laptop.
I had carpal tunnel and got the surgery on both hands at different times. Most successful surgery I ever had. I still take care to make sure I'm resting my forearms on my desk and I use a gel pad for under my wrists that puts my hands at the correct angle.

yes, laptop.
while i do have a friend and their surgery was successful, i have another friend who lost the entire use of his hand due to the surgery. so... i procrastinate...and in the meanwhile, try to not aggravate it. but it's spring...power tools and gardening...

Anything repetitive will cause the pain and numbness. Don't do the same thing for too long. My doctor told me to take a break to use my hands differently then what I was doing so I use different ligaments then go back to the previous chore.

Why Do Keys On Left Side Of Keyboard Wear Away Faster Then Keys On The Right(Vote Below)
I'm a Touch Typist and don't have to look at the keys when I type unless my fingers can't find the "Z'
Somebody must have a good idea why the keys on the left side wear away and the right side don't.
