The modifier keys won't fit, but the alphanumeric characters, and the Windows keys should be easily replaceable. $30 is a bit much for me to get on for my M10, though.

The video explains what a Nubian is.

That part of the term does not apply if you have a beige keyboard.

Well then, it's time for a new keyboard.

P.S.  I would like to point out that the technical term for the nubs is Nubile, Nubian, Nubblie, Nubbly Nubs.  The video explains what a Nubian is.


I married a Nubian queen, unlike our friend here I'm quite happy with her F and J.
I wouldn't like blank keys there for sure even if I can always find them in the dark.

Nice pic!   I like that you put "Nubian" in the file name.


Replaced her name with it... Also used a pic with no face, to keep it anonymous.

Back to the F & J nipple issue.

I don’t know how deep the color in the meterial goes.
I wonder if a light touch of dremel with a soft tip would affect the color.

Do the AZERTY boards have the same F & J markings?
(I just looked at the layout. Same position, so probably Nubiannated as well)

on such a small surface, the difference is not going to be obvious.
