Reply to comment by Asleep_Painting6103 in My MX Master 1 just died after 8 years - here’s why I still think it’s a BIFL product by joshjoshjosh42

Should add: I own mechanical computer keyboards that I would consider BIFL, because they are made of far more durable materials and can be serviced by a competent user even if they switches wear out (which is unlikely). Keycaps can be easily replaced by anyone as they wear out. I just don't see the same emphasis on long-lasting quality in ANY pointing device you can buy today.

The controller will eventually die... But you could do a entire PCB swap...

Yep, and I have a spare PCB. This keyboard will last the rest of my career (unless I get bored of it and swap it for something else...)
