I took a file to the F, J, 4, 8, F4, and F8 keys on the keyboard to
help find them faster. Then I painted the whole keyboard black!
Although painting may be a bit extreme, I do recommend filing a notch
into the aforementioned keys. Years later and it still saves me
precious seconds tens of times per day.
If you really want to go wild on the keyboard, you can cut the silicon
domes inside to make the keys easier to press. That is the third thing
that I do to any new keyboard now (while the paint on the key caps is
drying, after filing notches).
Keyboard pictures upon request.
