I play a lot of chess and every once in a while someone gives me a chess set which really pisses me off. I appreciate the thought but I hate adding to the landfill.
I drop it off at goodwill. Maybe mention the keys stopped working because the keys were not able to take the great usage you got out of it. That’s it! Call the person up and say: great keyboard but it could not stand the high usage.

That lie can backfire badly. They may just get you another keyboard for your next birthday.

Yeah, I considered that. That is why I stated it could not take the pounding. So, I suggested it was well used. The second one will also break.
