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.
