While it's a shame someone sullied a blanknut like this, they actually did a pretty good job labeling the key tops by hand. The key tops are small and it must have been hard to write some of those labels onto the tiny space, especially [X<>Y].

Thankfully the ink/paint came off easily with a bit of alcohol on a cotton swab. I can still see faint lines where the paint pen tip scratched the key surface. Any ideas how to remove these lines? I was thinking of polishing the areas with PolyWatch, but don't want to risk damage.

a good polish like NOVUS can help in that

Thank you! I'll give Novus a try.
