Because I like the idea of economy, I picked up on a conversation at a forum about how to restore faded letters on keyboards.to it, probably could try cleaning your key, etching in the letter to clean in, then free-handing in the white paint.
Lots of differing advice about using clear adhesive tape and typed letters, but I happen to have on hand a couple tools that might be used to rescue your old keyboard.
One tool is a plastic letter maker by Helix that has all the letters, numbers and symbols, the same size as on a keyboard. Looks like one could simply place the form on top of a keyboard letter and ink/paint in following the form.
A second tool that seems useful is an available white paint that's quick drying and not too expensive, $1.98. Beaducation would probably be available at cosmetic and other specialty shops, good because it's priced way less than others. If you're up
Right now I simply have the letters N and M repaired by putting some sticky paper on the keys and writing in the letters.
