SPANISH LATIN AMERICAN KEYBOARD STICKERS TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND YELLOW LETTERS FOR ANY LAPTOP COMPUTER PC DESKTOP NOTEBOOK ReviewFirst, to give credit where it is due, this item was very cheap ($ 1.95) and shipping was not outrageous. Moreover, the vendor shipped this out so quickly, I couldn't believe it. I am not blaming the vendor here.
Before the cons, a brief explanation. I am taking a Spanish course which requires that I type papers, compositions and the like using the various Spanish symbols. I am not knowledgeable about language keyboards, etc. I downloaded a Latin American Spanish keyboard, but then discovered that this was not sufficient--I also needed to know where the Spanish symbols are located on the keyboard keys of my Dell computer. Sooo, I purchased these transparent stickers with yellow symbols to attach to my keyboard when it is in Spanish mode. You stick them on the proper keys on your standard keyboard. The yellow symbols are on the right of the stickers and show the Spanish symbol. Because the stickers are transparent, your English keyboard keys show through on the left. I have a very ordinary, relatively new Dell laptop, with which these sticker keys are supposed to work.
(1) You will need the patience of Job to peel these stickers from the backing. They are small and they are very close together on the sticker sheet. (Much, much worse than the old Contact Paper if you go back that far.) When you finally manage to start to peel one, the sticker easily curls just a bit and sticks to itself in the corner. You can use your nail to unstick it from itself, but by this time, the sticker is a bit ragged on the edge and full of your finger smudges. It will still stick to you keyboard keys, but it "ain't" always pretty once it is on. The frustration level is an easy 15 out of 10. Whoever said you can put these on in about 15 minutes is an amazing person.
(2) On the sticker pad, under each key sticker in miniscule print, is the letter, number or symbol of the English key upon which the sticker is supposed to go. This symbol is in pale yellow and in view of it's size, barely visible. I am working with a very bright light and a magnifying glass to figure this one out. Another frustration.
(3) The assumption that these Latin American keyboard stickers, my Latin American Spanish keyboard download, and my Dell laptop are all easily compatible is a false assumption. Many of the stickers go where the teeny weeny little symbol says they should go, but some do not and some have no place to go. Just one or two example: I have no place for the > and < sticker that came with the set. I just don't have a key where a key should be. Of course my English keys for these symbols don't work on the Spanish Keyboard, so I just don't have these symbols available to me. The Q key is supposed to also be used (by pressing other keys at the same time) for the @ key. It doesn't work as the @ key. There are other incompatiblities.
(4) There are virtually no instructions with this sticker set. Once again in nearly miniscule print, there is an indication that you hit "Shifted Alt Gr Key" for one symbol on a given sticker, "Shifted Key" for another symbol on the same sticker, "Unshifted Key" for another, and finally, "Unshifted Alt Gr Key" for the final symbol on the sticker. Now I know the difference between a shifted and unshifted key, but what is an Alt Gr Key? So, I pounded on various permutations of the Alt key for 10 minutes to no avail. Then, I spent 15 more minutes doing internet research to learn that Alt Gr means the right hand Alt key. As a lefty, I tend to hit the Alt with my left hand. Okay, so this worked for a number of the symbols that require an unshifted Alt Gr key. But nothing I can do will bring up the symbols that require a Shifted Alt Gr key. Where does the problem lie? Me? My laptop? The Spanish keyboard I downloaded? The stickers? I have no idea.
(5) Now, I have some, but definitely not all, of the stickers ready to go. Not perfect, but I can type my Spanish homework. Then I switch back to the English keyboard to do some emails and an English "Word" document. Yikes! The yellow Spanish symbols on the right side of the keys are so much brighter than the light gray English symbols to the left on my black keyboard, that I am always hitting the Spanish symbols instead of the correct English symbols located elsewhere. If you are a terrific touch typist and never look at the keyboard, this will not be a problem. But if you are like me and need to look when you are typing certain symbols like *, (, ), +, -, and others, these stickers will take some getting used to before you get this straight. If you just glance a the keyboard, you will tend to hit the clear, bright, Spanish symbols and end up with something you did not intend to type. Just another frustration, at least at the start.
These transparent sticker keys are a great idea, and maybe eventually they will work out for me, but...
Perhaps someone with more sophistication in these matters, 10/10 eyesight, and more patience can work this all out easily. For the ordinary user who "knows nothing" these can really be a pain.
