does this keyboard die quickly or is it well built? how long have you owned it and how often do you use it

I had this keyboard for about a year. It is heavily used! this thing weighs about 3 lbs. not a few ounces like most keyboards.It will not move around on you while gaming.

The keyboard seems to be well-built; it's certainly heavy enough. However, the advertisement was unclear about a number of points. Specifically, I was out to buy a sturdy WIRELESS keyboard with backlighting, but when I opened the box it was obvious the keyboard was NOT wireless. I needed a new keyboard for my desktop dinosaur, so I kept it rather than go through the exchange process. For me, it was wasted money. You've got my name; email me at firstname dot lastname at live.com and I'll be glad to entertain your offer, since it's really no use to me.

Seems quite well bulit to me, the only issue i can forsee is the extender bar for your wrists at the bottom may become worn/break if you adjust it alot, i just dont use it so i dont have an issue and its still comfortable. Ive owned it for quite awhile (cant recall exact date, not sure if my review is dated) 6+ months. Great durability, all lights working, all functions working. I use this keyboard daily for gaming and school work, so it gets quite a workout. If you're debating on which keyboard you want, i suggest this one 100%! Great customizability, durability, and functionality for the price.

I've had good luck with it at about 10 feet, no issues. At about 15-18 feet it was dropping some of the key strokes. Otherwise it has been a good cheap keyboard. I use it primarily for the media center.

Yes to both these answers. I've had this keyboard for over 4 years and just love it!

I've gone through 3 of these keyboards. The keys and the springy part under the keys are plastic, not metal. This makes them wear out over time. I do A LOT of typing, so it stands to reason they'd wear out faster with me. If you do only moderate typing, it should last you at least a couple of years. All 3 of mine lasted a little over a year.I've never had the mouse die on me. I've given them away as I replaced the keyboard. The M510 mouse is awesome, and I can't stand any other mouse! It's spoiled me. Feels good in your hand, not too big/small, good range for receiver, can be used by righty or lefty, LASTS FOREVER!

I had this keyboard for a week and it has ghosting problems. Example, you can't press shift + x + arrow keys at the same time. Searching online for "microsoft sidewinder x6 ghosting" you'll find a bunch of articles about this and issues with other key combinations.

very quiet. As weeks pass by you'll find the rectangle keys starting to stick. Fisrt 1 and 3 weeks later another sticking. A defect, I don't know. I'm a smoke free home and build pcs for fun. I'm 65 yrs age. I love the board but if it cost to ship back for another it's not worth my time. I'm going to ask for a 50% discount to buy another.Why pay shipping. I hav a receipt so we"ll see. The keys work if you can center the stroke with the post. Just a Quark. Unless that's there objective. OK

It does die without being on. I've had other keyboards do the same thing. It's not the product that's defective it would help if it would stay charged!

I have had this keyboard and mouse only a few months. My experience with other Logitech products, including keyboards and mouses, is that they will last years if proper care is exercised.

Very similar mouse - but the mouse is not going to drop keystrokes on you. You cannot type on it. It is a mouse...7000 keyboards (I have had 3) all seem to eventually start dropping strokes. They feel good, but if you do more than extremely casual use, go with something else.I am sure OP has already made decision, but I see there was not a definitive answer, so here it is.

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your question. I bought this keyboard for my father over a year ago & it works great. All I did was plug it to his PC like any other keyboard and never had a problem. Hopefully Amazon can provide you with more detail information.

They both have a one year warranty and when that is over you just buy another one because noboby out there to fix them.I have had 2 ultimate and 1 elite great product but about a year and a half to 2 years is as long as one has ever lasted me .Now this was alot of game time no spills and regular cleaning with low air preshure and dry cloth to wipe off.The last one I had even kept the plastic cover over it when not in use.Loved them both but replacing a keyboard that expensive every two years just did not seem right to me .

that's a pretty open question I suggest do research this keyboard is very rugged mine is the year old and works fine the keys are etched not stickers so you never lose your identification its bright enough to be seen but not so bright eyes to cause a problem playing in the dark I play online games a lot this keyboard is performed flawless other keyboards cost much more for the same performance

I don't know. How long have you had it? My keyboard died shortly after I bought it - maybe I overjuiced it, I don't know. I had it replaced, only to have to get another replacement after the middle keys in all three rows stopped working, which actually happened twice. In other words, I'm on my third keyboard (after a lot of hassle getting ZAGG to replace the keyboard since I could not longer do it through the store where I bought it). Now guess what? The middle keys on this keyboard have all stopped working. Never buying the product again.

The. Warranty was only good for 30 days. I bought the keyboard for Christmas as a gift for my granddaughter. In November. Now I'm stuck with the keyboard that doesn't work and I had to go buy another at walmart. Best bet is to buy local so you can try it out first.

My keyboard has been going strong for over a year, works just like new still and I love it. I use my keyboard every day for 8+ hrs, so it is not lack of use that is keeping it in good condition.

I'll keep your tip in mind just in case I ever need it. So far (2+ months extensive use), I haven't had a problem with any of those keys, and I use the keypad instead of WASD as 'normal' people do.

I have had good experience with the keyboard lasting all day. I've used it in meetings that are daylong, and lasting into the evening, and haven't had any problem with it working the entire time.
