Wow! I don't really understand how you have managed to wear out the key faces?

I own keyboards dating back to 1980, none of them suffer from degradation of that type. Most still work perfectly, especially the old IBM metal keyboards. A few have "sticky keys', but, I could fix those if I cared to clean them.

I've been using my MS Ergonomic keyboard for three years. I have to clean it once every six months......but it has no signs of wear afterwards.

You must be very hard on keyboards!
