In the world of IT refurbishment, efficiency and quality go hand in hand. When it comes to keyboard restoration, the choice between Standard SticKeys and True Backlit SticKeys is a crucial one. At The Refurb Company, we’ve spent over a decade perfecting our solutions to ensure that our customers can achieve the best results with minimal hassle.
Why Choose SticKeys Over Keyboard Printing?
Traditional keyboard printing presents several challenges, especially for backlit keyboards. One of the biggest issues is print ghosting, where the original keyboard lettering remains visible due to improper overlay. This effect is particularly noticeable on worn or raised keys, leading to a less-than-ideal refurbishment outcome.
SticKeys, on the other hand, offer a superior alternative by completely masking the old keyboard, ensuring that no light shines through unwanted areas. This means no ghosting, no mismatched prints, and no need for multiple print passes, which saves both time and cost.
Standard SticKeys: The Reliable Workhorse
Our Standard SticKeys have been the go-to solution for over a decade. They provide:
✔ Complete coverage of the old keyboard, eliminating ghosting issues. ✔ A cost-effective solution for non-backlit keyboard refurbishments. ✔ Easy application without requiring additional steps like lasering off old lettering.
These have been successfully deployed across hundred of thousands of devices, with no reported returns due to visibility issues.
True Backlit SticKeys: A Premium Solution
For those who need True Backlit SticKeys, we offer two versions:
1️⃣ True Backlit SticKeys with Language Change – This requires laser removal of the old keyboard print, a process that takes up to 25 minutes per keyboard, making it a more premium but labor-intensive option.
2️⃣ True Backlit SticKeys (No Language Change) – Designed specifically for refurbishing backlit keyboards without modifying the language layout. This is a faster and more cost-effective option, particularly for markets like the USA, where language standardization is key.
Which Option is Right for You?
Ultimately, the choice between Standard and True Backlit SticKeys depends on your customer’s needs and budget. If you’re looking for a quick, reliable, and affordable solution, Standard SticKeys are the way to go. However, for premium refurbishment with full backlit functionality, True Backlit SticKeys provide an unmatched experience.
