Never had a Razer product, but any decent keyboard with mechanical switches should last you over 5 years at the very least with that usage.

had a few razer produts all broke before they should have for the money they cost.
my old £5 mouse lasted longer than my lachesis. (about 5years longer...)

there are better choices. razer are for them that want bells and whistles over usability.
there gaming matrix which they claim speeds up keyboard response actually reduces responsiveness on the rest of the key matrix as to make it appear the wasd and a few other keys are working quicker...
its a con. the keyboard is polling at 1000hz (1ms) regardless of how fast you press the keys.
then theres the lack of Nkroll over.
with no full key roll over there is no real effective anti ghosting. the method they choose can vary its results from 3-10 keys. which means on some key press combos the keyboard may or may not remember the last keys pressed.

das, ducky, q-pad, corsair,ttsports and logitech all have better offerings at less money.

i love mine. no problems whatsoever & i game hard for long sessions.
my brother has the tourney edition (no backlight, numberpad, or macro programming) and has zero problems as well.

everyone has different experiences with different opinions.. at the end of the day, if you take care of your equipment, it will take care of you.

lol i have mice that are over 10 years olds. i still have a working atari 800xl and amiga 1200 mate. there over 25 years old. so taking care of my kit isnt an issue mate.

they really were just faulty from the off. a mmb on the mouse shouldnt stop responding to clicks after 6 months.
i rma'd it and the replacement did the same after 8 months.
i returned the keyboard i had as it had a polling rate issue. nothing i did to them caused the issue as far as i could tell.
