Post by: db_Iodine on Thu, 17 February 2011, 14:27:45: The shine is easier to see in the first picture. Don't worry about it and just fap.. I mean type away. Post a new picture when you've worn a hole on the spacebar.

Post by: godly_music on Thu, 17 February 2011, 19:17:58: When the first key shows signs of shininess, you have to throw the keyboard away and buy a new one obviously. Can't have that slick surface throwing you off your game and butchering your WPM!

Post by: Pylon on Thu, 17 February 2011, 21:08:52: That's going to mess with key feel a lot...

Hey, let's make spacebars shiny so that you can't make them any shinier!

Post by: laden3 on Thu, 17 February 2011, 21:17:32: It's the skin of the human that causes the problem... so... have you guys heard of quivers made out of human leather... how gross is that? XD

Post by: Tony on Fri, 18 February 2011, 00:50:28: In order to protect your PBT Space bar from becoming shiny, you Geekhackers should wear gloves when typing.

Or you can buy a replacement set of keycaps from your keyboard supplier.

Post by: What is X? on Fri, 18 February 2011, 02:29:17: make sure your fingers are clean so not as much oil gets on the keys.

Hmm, already shiny key set? ;D Would it be the answer, ofcourse it will look horrible in some time... Atleast wear won't be issue, if it's dye or doubleshot...
