" ... First, I want to say that I am leaving this written as is(spacebar is one of the keys that stopped working consistentlyafter a year, so forgive the lack of spaces as I am trying to show the issue).I gotthis keyboard to use predominantly for gaming,and it didwork for a time. ... However, I noticed that at about the year mark it started toshow some 'inconsistencies'. ... I really wish I could have gotten AT LEAST 2 years worth ofgaming/work out of this, but it'sbecome unbearable for work and any game that requires semi-regular use of the space bar. ... "
