Keyboard sticker
Keyboard stickers are a computer accessory that the presentation of additional characters on a PC - or laptop - keyboard allows.
Structure and use
In most cases, keyboard stickers are used to display characters from another language or special characters. Keyboard stickers are made of transparent film and are usually supplied on a sheet of paper from which they can be stuck to the desired keys. They have an adhesive coated bottom and a smooth top. The characters are mirror-inverted on the underside using the screen printing process . Actuating the keyboard therefore cannot cause any abrasion that would make the character illegible. The characters are attached to the film in such a way that they do not cover the original lettering on the keyboard.
The stickers became popular with the introduction of the euro to add to what was not indicated on keyboards at the time €; today it is on ( Alt Gr-) as standard E.
