Wide Keys & Felt Tips?

[Christine (Steno Nerd)]

Hi, All.

I want to buy some wide keys for my steno machine. I also want to buy the felt tips for all the keys for my steno machine.

How much does each one cost normally? Anyone have a good recommendation of where I can get the best deal for each?

Thanks in advance! Much appreciated! ;)

I had the felt on one of my machines. Carry a nail file with you b/c you'll snag with the least little imperfetion in your nail. I switched them out to some kind of rubber and am happy.

I've got the rubber pads and love them! Wouldn't want the felt. Jagged fingernails could cause problems.

Thanks so much, Everyone!

Kelli -- I'll check out Stenotech for the keypads. Good to know that I should ask a pro to take care of the keypads for me instead of handling it myself.

Judy and Diana -- Good to know about the felt tips! The rubber or leather pads sound like winners!

I really appreciate your feedback! THANKS! :)

Hi, Christine,

I loved the rubber keypads until I got the leather ones from Depobook. They're $23.95, and they are well worth it. I love them. They also have rubber and felt.

I have a set of rubber ones that I can send you. I'm not going to use them. I don't need them because my machine has such a light touch.

Let me know if you would like them.

Christine --

I like the keypads Stenovations sells. They're rubber, and they peel on and off like PostIt Notes.

As for the wide keys, while I am technically trained (electronics), I would prefer to let the professionals put them on instead of doing it myself.

If the professional makes a mistake while doing so, s/he has the skills to fix his or her blunder.

If I make a mistake while putting them on ... well, let's just say the money I would've "saved" had I done it myself will disappear twice over when the professional has to fix what I did wrong, AND put the wide keys on! :o\

Hope that makes sense! It's late .....

Thank you, Janet & Glen, about your advice on getting the leather or rubber keys and for making sure I have a pro put them on for me! I really appreciate the input! :)

Take care,
