  1. Very much agreed. Semi related question, perhaps Louis knows about this. I have noticed in past purchases that a type of cheap-o keyboard construction, even for brands like Logitech, tends to produce that sort of failure out of nothing thing. The last one that I opened was a Logitech K400 plus if I'm not mistaken. It just stopped working, or more accurately, several keys stopped having any contact, some would double press, and stuff like that. It had a full body rubber membrane inside with an also full body plastic contact sheet. It's kinda similar to TV remote controls guts, which also tend to fail in a similar fashion. Is this the problem there? I have no idea how they work, after opening the Logitech K400, giving it a thorough clean up despite it not even being dirty (it was a relatively new and kinda rarely used keyboard), trying to check the contacts, components, and everything else, I still didn't manage to make it work properly again. It's just weird. Can't think of a reason for it to fail like that. Perhaps static is enough to invisibly damage those contacts? It's two layers of thin transparent plastic sheets with what looks like some sort of graphite paint that makes a connection when you press those keys that in turn press the rubber membrane and those nubs into contact or something.
