How well does the stick hold up to being banged around on a set of keys over time?

It seems to work very well have had no problems with it at all. And I am very happy with this product, So far RFB 1634

It's still like brand new. I even have a set of high school keys that are pretty massive and bulky and it hasn't hurt the USB at all.

I kept it on my keys at first, but the inside (memory card) fell out after about 9 months. I took it off my keys and store it in my bag, but it still falls out all the time. Now it's broken (computers won't recognize it) - I think having the card fall out so many times and having to put it back in caused excessive wear and tear.

I've had mine less than a year, on my keychain. The tip metal is bent a little. Looks like its crushed in a bit on the corner, so it doesn't go into the usb port very well.

The Guts fell out - very odd - had on my keys for 6 months and loved it. Then one day I set it on the counter and when I picked it up the guts (the memory) were not in the metal case - luckily I found them on the counter. This has happened once since so I no longer keep it on my keys and the guts stayed in (and they are a little tricky to get back in). If this is your only copy of data than no - do not put it on your keys. If this is just a convenient backup and you can afford to loose the insides than it works great! The guts are small enough that it would be unlikely that someone would find and figure out what it is if you have sensitive data. I also have dropped in the water with no problems.

I've had it on my key chain for over 2 years now and it shows no wear. It was even thrown into salt water a year ago, retrieved from the bottom of the dock, rinsed off about an hour later, and has continued to work perfectly. Toughest USB stick I've ever encountered!!

No one is worse on keys than me and mine lasted a couple of years before it fell out. I never had a compacted lint problem which is surprising. Even though I lost the insides eventually, I'm still buying another one. I have found nothing better since it is stylish and takes up less space in my pocket.

I've had two of these and both experienced having the inside memory card fall out in course of a little over a year. One of the "guts" was never found, but I did find one inside my car. Fortunately the information wasn't of any critical nature, never the less, it was very disappointing to say the least. I loved it up until that point would not buy again...

I've had mine for just about one year and all the letters are still clearly visible. What I like the most about this keyboard is that the F and J keys have a good ridge on them and I can feel where my fingers go.

I never had any problems. I LOVE this keyboard. I lost it during a move. Thank you for reminding me. I will buy another now.

Mmmmh. Not really. But it's not terrible, either. I'm not sure how sturdy any of these kids toy keyboards are, however I will say it has survived occasional use by a 2 1/2 year old for several months without any keys breaking. I'd say it's okay, but if your toddler bangs on the keys repeatedly it will probably break.

I have had this keyboard for something like 5 months now. I carry it to and from work in my backpack everyday, and I can definitely say that it is solid. As a chat support technician, I am typing for 8 hours solid everyday and she has been holding up like a champ. I dropped it in the parking-lot out of my backpack on accident, and aside from the very light scrape on the corner, it held up solid. I am really glad I bought it. If I forget my keyboard at home and realize it when I get into work, I actually take the attendance point, and go back home to get it rather than use the keyboards at work. I am absolutely addicted to this thing. I have had this keyboard for something like 5 months now. I carry it to and from work in my backpack everyday, and I can definitely say that it is solid.

This is a pretty durable flight stick. I have a 12"x9"x1/4" sheet of plastic attached to my desk top and a Cyborg Gold joystick velcro taped to the top. This creates a very sturdy base for the joystick. I play flight sims so the joystick gets a good work out and it has been pretty dependable for the last 5 or 6 years. The button cover at the 6:00 position finally fell off from use so its time for a replacement.

My keyboard has been going strong for over a year, works just like new still and I love it. I use my keyboard every day for 8+ hrs, so it is not lack of use that is keeping it in good condition.

I have had them on for the past 8 months and they have adhered to the keys quit nicely. I am, however, a home user who is on my computer for about 14 hours a week.

It is durable and does not fall apart but as I have posted a few weeks ago, mine had the delete key stopped working which sort of makes no sense to keep it. I was very disappointed. Maybe you´ll get luckier and yours will not stop working..

Very firmly. I use it in my lap frequently and that was impossible with my old keyboard too. I've had mine for 3 months so far and couldn't be happier!

I've been using mine for about a month and have not had any trouble with any keys.

I haven't had an ounce of trouble with the eMachine, I play games all the time. My only problem is the letters wear off the keys.

I've been using the KeyFolio for about a year now and haven't had any problems with screen damage, scratches, etc. I touch type and really like the keyboard. It has fast response and feels pretty comfortable for a person with large hands.

I have no durability complaints after minimal use. I have older Stanley screw drivers in my toolbox and they are holding up well too.

It's plastic and I question whether it would survive long term attachment to a keychain. I think the weight of keys might be an issue. So while I can't give you a definite no, I'm kind of leaning that way.

I have had 2 of these keyboards for one year and I have seen no degradation in paint I have not had a problem with either of them.

I played with it regularly for a few months and I didn't see any problem or any sign of damage. I didn't play much after that. I think it should be fine for a few years.
