I got a basic cherry board, and the USB connection in the back broke after about a month's use. I take it with me with my laptop - which could explain the additional wear and tear, but I've not been doing anything other than typing and removing the cable when moving the laptop - I can't say I'm impressed with the life. (YMMV, of course)
