That said, the G+ models were all made in Indonesia -- which means the key labels were PAINTED as opposed to being molded. If your upgraded unit is a Singapore model, then it likely has the molded keys which do not wear. The easiest way to tell is to look at the letter E. The molded keys will have sharp corners, whereas the painted ones are likely to have rounded corners. I am pretty sure the P ROM has molded keys, whereas the G+ does not.

I have 2 G models, one from Singapore and one from Indonesia and they both seem to have painted keys. I also have an American-made SX and the keys look the same as on the G models I have. I am surprised because I would have thought the American made one would have the molded keys. My HP 67 is from Singapore so I know that factory did good work in the old days. But my Indonesian and Singaporean G models look identical.

Can somebody post some pics of molded and painted keys for the sake of comparison?

(I would like to get a G+ and a GX but I will have to wait a few months.)
