I did have one fail, but its replacement is fine.

And they are so cheap that its no big deal if some fail.

I've got far too many for that and the ones that the neighbours
kids get the torrented movies loaded onto have to be removable.

The extension cables have lasted a lot
longer than that with all but one of them.

The one that failed was the one that I usually put the USB
sticks that leave the house with movies on go into so its
not surprising it failed first given its much higher activity.
Its an unusual week when it doesn't get used for that.

Mine is likely in a darker position than yours quite a bit
of the time. It normally lives on one of those stands that
are normally used to have a book on on one of those
tables be ridden people use that sits off to the left of
the big arm chair I compute from, under the left most
24" wide screen monitor. The two monitors are angled
at about 110 degrees. I do brief typing with my left
hand with it still on the stand. When I enter more text
like I am doing right now, it comes off the stand onto
my lap for the duration of the post, sitting on the A4
sized piece of stiff card that is one cover of a recipe
book which I mouse around on.

After that post I did find that while the caps lock led
wasn't super visible with the keyboard still on the
stand, pressing it make the led much more visible.

When the keyboard is on my lap, its plenty visible
without doing that.
