When my last keyboard started failing, I replaced it with a Kensington Keyboard for Life (K64307A). Been using it now for 6 years or so. Maybe longer. Can't remember exactly. Still works fine. Blow it out weekly, and clean the exterior monthly using 90% isopropyl alcohol. Just as solid as it was when I bought it. If it ever fails Kensington replaces it for free. It cost me $15 US IIRC. FWIW, I do a lot of typing for my business and personal use. Am even working on a couple of books. I'm a touch typist. So, I don't pound on it like it's a manual typewriter, but it does get daily use for several hours a day. Anyone who spends $100 these days on a keyboard has got to be nuts whether they think it's worth or not. But it's your money. B
