If a single switch goes bad after 15 years of constant usage, I wouldn't feel so bad, to be honest. Considering the worst membrane keyboard I have is going strong after 10 years (which is a Microsoft keyboard), I believe this G710+ can last much more than that.

We have 20+ year old keyboards at office which are going strong and some are even connected via DIN to USB adapters.

So a good mechanical switch like a Cherry MX cannot be killed in a reasonable amount of time even if you use it daily without abusing it, if there's no defect in production.

I didn't change a Logitech peripheral due to malfunction until now. Some of these are used daily, non stop.

So, I'm not expecting this G710+ to apply for retirement soon.

Wait, is my i key not registering? Nope, just joking. :)
