A day? Have you guys considered putting coffee in a place where you don't spill it so easily?

I use the keyboard as my daily driver writing code for the Terminal itself. I’ve had the same Starboard on my desk for over half a decade. I guess they don’t stand up to fist mashing and coffee spilling? Typing normally on it works quite well :)

I'm guessing jnichols35 does IT support in a large-ish office?

That is correct, I just got a ticket in for another keyboard replacement due to a key popping off.
Edit: This is a new one for me https://imgur.com/gallery/QTFMw2D

So it's like, not just keycap? It's gone for good now?
I guess there's no incentive to make them more durable. You know this better than me, but I doubt corpos care about the cost of replacing those keyboards.

Just after I updated that comment I got another keyboard with multiple keys missing. I believe the keyboards are replaced for free as part of licensing them out.
I worked IT for a High School and kids would tear laptop keyboards apart. The school wouldn't replace them so I had to do my best to fix them. When I saw a keycap come off when I started here and they said replace the whole board I sighed with so much relief.
