I have a black Dell keyboard on my computer. The letters and numbers are wearing off. Can I stop this from happening? How do I fix rubbed off letters?

Keyboards are cheap. You can buy another one. If you do want to restore it, here is an article that tells you how: www.instructables.com/
IF you want something that's still pretty cheap but looks better than the DIY option, you can go to ebay and for cheap either find replacement keys: www.ebay.com/
or sticker overlays: www.ebay.com/
or there are these fun rubber overlays also: www.ebay.com/
There is also this link. You can get an entire sheet of them for less than 6.00 which is less than a new keyboard. Hope that helps!!
to savae the ones you have try clear nail polish over them ... the one s that are gone, paint on with white paint and then clear nailpolish....
Mine did the same. I found some stickers of the letters and put them on the keyboard.
Try using a silver or gold paint pen and carefully paint them back on. If you can print neatly this is probably your cheapest option.
You may be able to put a couple of coats of mod Podge on the ones that are starting to wear this should stop it from getting any worse. If I were in your situation I would touch them all up with a black paint pen and then put mod Podge over them. Good luck.
A friend cleaned her keyboard off with alcohol and let it dry. Then she used a french manicure pen (has a very pointed brush) and printed needed letters on and let dry for a couple minutes. Then she used clear polish over the keys.
Since I would never have a french manicure pen and either I had a laptop or just wanted yo keep my old keyboard, I would opt for an overlay. You can Google for these but here is a reliable company that sells replacements/overlays:
