Has anyone else had a problem with sticking keys after less than two years of use?

Yes . While I liked the dictionary they wear out very soon after warranty is expired . In my case with not high daily use .

No. Not with sticking keys. The E550 has a reputation for failing totally within two years.

I have two of these around the house and did not encounter such issues within the first two years of either product (going on 5-6 years with both of them now).

I didn't have problems with the keys - the screen malfunctioned after one year. It was terrific until then. The screen problem is well documented - I wouldn't buy it again w/o knowing the screen problem was fixed.

I had mine for 5 years now. No problem at all. But of course I am not a heavy user. . Nevertheless, the sharp electronic dictionary together with the kindle, increases my enjoyment and the frequency of my reading. Love them both!

This answer is from a previous review which they initially gave 1 star... The following is a fix for the sticky keys..In a last-ditch effort, I pulled all the primary keys off and used a Q-tip and petroleum jelly to lubricate the slots where all the keys are installed. Once I snapped all the keys back in place....WOW....THIS WAS THE PERFECT KEYBOARD. It now works very smoothly and I still enjoy the benefit of the back-lighting and easy read letters. I wish I had done this easy fix when I first received it.

No I've never had that problem. Are you sure you aren't slightly resting your finger on the left or right key when this happens?!

I have had two of these keyboards and both had keys that did not work. Get another brand.

I've never had that problem. I have a larger key ring attached, no keys on it. Maybe that helps.

i had TWO keyboards that has space bar problem. i am giving up on this brand, should have stick with UniComp.anyway, a way to fix the sticking space bar and alt keys is extremely simple. file the edge. you can do it using file on the nail clipper. for keyboard with this price tag, i expect better QC.

I bought two from newegg. The wife likes hers, mine was so terribly sticky I had to throw it out. Especially bad were the large keys, like shift. You had to hit it dead center. any pressure at the ends and it wouldn't go down without tons of pressure. I loved the lighting (yes, it turns off), but I'd avoid this keyboard.

i am not the seller, but have owned this keyboard in the past. I also lost the use of at least one key and would suggest that you make sure the seller does test and guarantee that all keys are functional.

We have had no issues at all with this key board. Really like it! Hope this helps.

I used a damp wipe -- like a baby wipe or Windex cloth or a screen cleaner thing. I was doing a general cleaning of the keyboard. You do need to pay more attention to keeping this keyboard clean than others, as the keys are low-rise, and if the keyboard gets dusty, there is more problem with getting the shift key to work well. Also, if one of the function keys gets stuck (easy to have happen when the keyboard gets dirty), you get weird things happening, like only being able to type a capital C with the caps lock on.

I don't seem to have this problem. My keyboard works great and isn't squishy.

Yes, mine keys on the old one did disappear. I have only had this new one for a few months, and it is a huge improvement over the old one in general, but I don't know yet how long the letters will last. I am hopeful!

Some of the keys stick occasionally. Seems like the T, is the one giving me the most trouble. I still love this keyboard. I am not a very fast typist, so It doesn't interfere to much.

The keys do come off same thing happened to mine, I found you can snap them right back on if it is not actually broken.

My keyboard has been sticky from the beginning. Not all the keys- just a few. I would contact the seller and see if they will send you a new one.
