  I've had one of these for the better part of 7 years. It works, it hasn't broken, battery life is very good. The trackpad, however, is atrocious. Even the slightest hint of moisture on your fingers/hands renders it unusable.

  They last around a decade of hard use and abuse, in my experience. If you want actual BIFL, you want an IBM Model M. They were produced starting in 1985 and are still in the wild. They run for $150-300. They will need adapters to plug into modern computers. I knew a lawyer who had one since 1985 and still used it daily. He actually owned three, but once a decade he'd sent it out for maintenance and wanted a spare for his spare in case he had to mail out the backup.

(Not a shill for Big Keyboard, just nerdy.)

  Love mine, only want would be backlight. They don’t make backlit of such anymore.

  Yet it feels like I could fold it in half just by looking at it too hard. Even so, it still works 12 years later.

  I have had this keyboard for years now. Almost a decade. It’s still working perfectly for my TV

  I have one of these for my HTPC. And it's great in that regard. The only criticism I have is that I wish they made a version of it with backlit keys.

  2013 here. Has had hot wax from a lit candle poured onto/into it. A few of the keys deformed from that but still work. Has been dropped, sat on, and generally abused. Still works the same as the day I got it.

  Good keyboard. One of them lasted me 8 years of daily use before the track pad failed.

  Nice to see this on my feed, it's such a versatile keyboard/mouse combo. I use the same model for work, and I have a k400r for my media server which must be around ten years old now.

  I’ve had one of these for awhile and for me it is PERFECT for using my pc like a TV from the couch.

  I have one hooked up to my garage PC and it’s put up with untold amounts of abuse over the years. Despite everything, it still works fine.

  Idk when the last time you cuddled your partner while watching X-Files or any other long running serialized show, but you don’t really want to move and will keep this keyboard just in reach of your partially free arm so you can press the yellow button to click “play next episode” having already lined up the cursor to that part of the screen.

  This is what every sim racer uses on their rig, it’s also what I use for my home server. It just works.

  I mentioned it's flex in my review. I just took mine apart to find what was rattling around, turns out it's the on off switch. I also tightened the screws, it's quiet now.

  I have this one on my media machines since at least 2013. It’s still going strong. Like you and other said, it’s not for full time use as it’s a little flimsy and not very ergonomic, but that lightweight, compact design and built in pad make it sooo nice for living room surfing.

  I'm using this exact keyboard to type right now. Using it every day. Frequently it takes too long to "wake" (After not using it for a while, you have to press a key and wait 2-3 seconds before it accepts more input.), but I'm stretching to find negatives here.

  It is surprisingly good for the price, really great for bed use while watching streaming services with your significant other, Purkle outlined it perfectly honestly. Only downside I found was a lack of pause button for RTS and world building games.

  I have one. Would not use it as a daily driver but it's great if you want to use it with a TV / media centre.

  This model was the standard for industrial assembly line controls for one of our clients around 2014-15. We built several lines of equipment for them, some in clean room conditions, some in the manufacturing area (oily, occasional metal shavings, and careless users). I visited the factory two years ago, and noticed that at least 3 of the machines still had the same original keyboard we installed 10 years ago. Not ergonomic for constant use, but very resilient.

  This isn’t a keyboard for using 8 hours a day. It’s for controlling a media pc while you sit on your couch. It’s great for that and that’s what I use mine for. I absolutely would not be typing anything major on it.

  I own one. While it is not super convenient, its space saving and its one-physical-device-as-mouse-and-keyboard characteristic are very very helpful in certain situations. Not for everyday use.

  I've used these for every HTPC I've made for my family, the battery last forever and the thing is extremely durable, has survived drops and spills.

  I use this for my media pc so it doesn't get the every day driver use as my mechanical ducky on my main computer. It is mainly used for downloading cars, selecting youtube videos and other media on my living room media pc. With that in mind, i've owned 2 models of these. The first one lasted 8 years on the included batteries and was never switched off. I only got a new (used) one because my partner had one and it had yellow accents. This current one is 7 years old and on the included batteries. I have dropped it many times and it is still going strong. The Good: Battery Life! - the best battery life i've ever seen, it's like your old game boy advanced you forgot in the closet for 15 years that starts right up when you turn it on. Ergonomics - The left mouse button placement on the top left as well as at the pad itself is great for someone like me with large hands. It's easy to use with both hands while navigating web pages. I do not find it difficult to type with the keyboard in my lap. The Bad: Structure - It does feel a bit flimsy being how light it is. It also has a bit of flex if you try bending it, you could say it feels a bit cheap. Sweaty Palms - If you have moist hands the pad sometimes picks up multi inputs from your finger and resize the web browser. My partner has this problem rather often but i myself have never experienced it.
