I was looking at a not-very-old HP keyboard today and

that the lettering on the keys is wearing away after only a few
years of use.
Another corner quietly cut, I suppose.
Used to be that keytops were double-shot molded, with the
lettering all but indestructible. Is this a practice that's
gone forever, or is there still a vendor who makes keyboards the
old way?
Personally, I am hoping there is a hardware firm
("Carly-Packturd") that will cease to exist in that form (we want
the real 'Hewlett-Packard' back, and NOW!) and that all the other
keyboard vendors will continue doing keycaps the old way.
