How long do mopst of these keyboards last

Mine is still working. Every once in a while it takes off on it's own. The only reason I am still using it is the keyboard is eazy to see. It still works fair. It was worth what I paid for it.

I've had mine for over a year and the only problem is the backspace key sticks occasionally.

I have had this keyboard for over two years, and it still works well. I use it almost daily for both work and play.

We bought one for our son several years ago and it still works fine. He spends a lot of time on the computer.

Depends if you purchased New or Old or Refurbished or so. They do last 3-5 years depending on how well they are looked after.

I'm sorry you have had problems with your other keyboards. My first "Keys U See" lasted three years. I replaced it with a second one which is still going strong after two years. I don't use it every day, but when I take it to my adult education classes, sometimes three in a week, I am often typing for 1 1/2 hours straight. I recommend downloading frequently to avoid losing documents in case there is any problem. I'm glad I have this keyboard and recommend it to anyone. If you have any more questions, please let me know.

I have used this keyboard for about 4 years and love it. As with most keyboards, the wearing away of the coating on the keys for the most used keys is a pain. As long as you are a "typist" and not a two-finger-hunt-&-peck typist, you will be fine. The soft blue back-lighting makes it nice for use in low-light. It's a large/long keyboard, so I dispensed with the wrist rest thing. Overall, I am happy with mine.

The keys of the keyboard are soft plastic so the most they do is leave little marks that can wipe off. However the keyboard is not made well, doesn't hold a charge for very long and is very difficult to manuever fingers on. I used it once, put it away and got a new one.

I've had mine for over six months and it still hasn't faded or discolored. It's better than your keys on the key board fading. Plus it keeps dust from getting inside the keys too. I love mine:).

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 .

I have been using mine for about 2 months and there is no sign of deterioration or fading. The stickers are printed with the letters and have excellent sticking power. They look just like the letters on the original keyboard. If they wear out, I would buy them again. Hope that helps.

As long as you cleean them properly they last. I have had mine for 2 years, just brought em out last week for a project and works great. Just be sure to properly disassemble and clean them and thes are a fine investment

Typically it will last for "3-5" years. The keypad will show in the display and chirp.

The keys are laser etched. This means they will wear significantly slower than keys that are only printed on, but they will not last practically forever like the old IBM keyboards that actually had a separate black piece of plastic inside the keys instead of only a top layer applied. Consider the cost of the product, you will have to pay significantly more to get that type of keyboard because they're considered a niche product and also tend to have mechanical switches in them that further raises the cost. To make any keyboard's key markings last as long as possible, only use it with clean hands, clean dirt off before it builds up much, and above all keep your fingernails trimmed short.

Mops are great. I just throw them in the wash after each use. I've been using them for a year, and not had to replace them yet.

I have not used the keyboard continually since receiving it. I use is everyday for about 15 to 30 minutes. I have not needed to charge it for about 2 weeks. I accidentally left it on all night and a couple days ago and it still hasn't died. As a result, I would guess that it will work all day without a problem. I hope that answers your question.

I have not notice the keyboard getting hot. I do not use it for a long period of time. As far as the letters on the keys lasting a long time, I only have used it for a short time. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I have had these on my keyboard for about 9 months when they started to wear through the common letters, s,t,a,r,e. (Daily 8-12 hour constant use) Interestingly the letter portion sits to the upper left corner so even though they are wearing through in the center I can still see the letters. I will probably give them another month or so and try replacing them again. So for $50 keyboards to get another 9-12 mos I would say is worth the trouble.

Hey there David. Unfortunately, I do not have a clear answer to your question, but with Brian there, he has something for you at least. I would contact Amazon and Monoprice to see what their policies are when ordering from Amazon and if Monoprice has anything in addition in terms of a warranty. On the bright side, I have been using the keyboard more often for my summer job and it has held up great through heavy use, so I would say that the keyboard is pretty hardy. Good luck.

Not sure about the keyboard you referenced, but after six months this one is holding up great. My office tends to attract dust, and it all seems to collect on the solar panel. I keep the non-abrasive cloth that came with the keyboard handy, and gently wipe off as needed. As for the keys getting dirty, they don't seem to be dirty at all, but I agree with Brent - avoid the Cheesy Poofs while typing!
