> 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.
