User banned from Das Keyboard forums for telling people of open-source drivers

I have had four Das Keyboards and they have been quite good, two years+ out of each, but the USB hubs in all of them have been a bit hit-and-miss. Either devices are not detected in one of the two ports or one seems to charge my iPhone faster than the other.

Again, they've been quite good to me but my work and home keyboards both have a dud key (in quick succession) so I am looking for a cost effective Cherry Blue or Brown replacement.

> two years+ out of each

That's… just about nothing for a keyboard. I bought my wireless apple keyboard in 2010 and it's behaving perfectly, my MS Ergo 4000 is 10+ and the only issues with it are the plastic's paint going.

And I don't consider these old.

I wouldn't accept a fucking battery lasting less than 2 years, how can it be acceptable for a keyboard you found anywhere outside a walmart bargain bin?

I don't remember if the cheap keyboard I have at home is USB or PS/2, but its only signs of aging are dirt and yellowing. After 2 years, a keyboard is supposed to be like new; it isn't a smartphone.

That would be "pretty bad" even for a $10 keyboard.
