> Has anyone ever typed so much on a keyboard that the switches wore out? Aren't they good for literally millions of actuations? There are always non-zero odds that equipment deteriorates to the point it ceases to function, and failures due to wear increase with use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve I had a keyboard fail on me because the spacebar ceased to trigger reliably. It was a cheap Chinese "let's shove a cheap laptop keyboard in an even cheaper plastic chassis to make it a small form factor USB keyboard". It took a couple of years of daily use but eventually the switch was kaput. Also, arguably the most famous case of keyboards failing is Apple's infamous MacBook pro keyboard and it's propensity for phantom key presses.
