woot, im getting a cyrillic keyboard for christmas lol

That's great! Will it be one of your Christmas presents?

I just wrote the cyrillic letters on my keyboard in marker.

Is it so hard to find a keyboard with the cyrillic letters in the States? How long does your marker last?

One can always buy stickers on ebay. They look nice.

Agreed.

Though I probably can't peel the stickers off my laptop if I ever decide to sell it to get an upgrade, unless I find a buyer interested in getting a laptop complete with keyboard stickers...

It only lasts a day or so but I don't write in Russian very ofter anyway.

Yes you can peel the stickers off. I did this a while back and then replaced them. The trouble is they don't stick very good the second time and they began to curl and stick up making it very hard to type. So, I bought another set of stickers and put them on. Now I find that the stickers I bought were too small to see very well so I am prone to type the wrong letters quite often.

I am too cheap to buy stickers and I don't like the idea of marking up my keyboard either. So I just memorized the key positions. I think this is the best solution in the long run.

I don't think the stickers mark up the keyboard. I think they look nice.

like, 3 years ago, i just cut up little peices of paper, wrote down the russian alphabet, found a picture of a russian keyboard, got some scotch tape and then stuck them on. The last one fell off probly about a year later, but most of them lasted a good 6 months, plenty of time to learn the russian keyboard without looking.
