I have been using a previous generation (without the touch ID) Magic Keyboard for about a year and a half.
Purchased in April of last year.
Last week, the Q W E R T keys suddenly stopped registering, and I brought it to an Apple store to see if it was broken or could be fixed.
The result seemed to be that there was a physical disconnection of something inside, and could not be fixed (or fixing it would end up costing more than a purchase of a new one..).
I wanted to see others' experiences on if 1.5 years was normal life expectancy under light use. I use it for about 2 days a week, have it covered and protected (and immobile) while I do not use it.
I am considering purchasing a new one, because I like the feel of the keyboard... but do not want to spend 100 USD on a keyboard every 18 months.
Would appreciate hearing experiences, and what everybody does to prolong it's life.
Thanks
