If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

It's just a little niggle I have - My parents want to get a new keyboard because I'm gradually rubbing the WASD keys off through excessive gaming. Only thing is, I've grown accustomed to using the Del/End/Pg Down keys which are nicely positioned just above my cursor keys. I'm also fond of keyboards with wires., cant be doing with a reciever thingie.
So, can anyone point me in the direction of a nice keyobard with keys that tap and feel chunky when you rpess them, not those afwul ones that feel like you're tapping at cotton-wool all the bloody time, that have the 9-keys all shoved together like this? Cheers!

Theres a
blue one on ebay if you're not bothered about the colour. Other than that it'd probably be hard to find another keyboard like yours if they dont make it anymore.

Why not buy a tipp-ex pen and put the lettering back? Or get some of those transfers for airfix planes? Or the scribbly pencil transfers from a stationers?
Why buy a new keyboard if it works just fine?

or you could buy the blue one and swap over the keys that are worn, keep the rest for spares

alternatively, let them buy a new key board.
it takes 20 second max to change keyboards when your using it.
