You can buy “ placemat “ like covers you can just lay right on top of your keyboard!! Amazon sells them and I believe Best Buy!! Or you could get a tooth pick and some white out.. if you have patience and a steady hand!!
Hi Rod. We all get a little yellow around the gills as we age. Embrace the yellowing as a sign of a well preserved yet aged device.
I bought these stickers at Amazon. I love them because I can see them easily... I am 65 and it is wonderful. I didn't get them all on exactly straight, but it is not very noticeable. I found them in many different sizes and shapes.
Do they come off could try soaking in straight vinegar then lay out in sun or household hydrogen peroxide--------peroxide from beauty/hair supply store( but will need to apply carefully so it doesn't remove lettering) is super strong https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/feature-learn-how-whiten-your-yellowed-plastic-gadgets I have antique typewriter early 1900's w/case mint condition really nice, maybe it's best to leave them as they are I really agree with Bijous
