So, I play on a Sades K10 that I bought specifically for osu. The switches are not authentic mx, but are instead Jixian(an mx clone). My question is, I've been playing osu alot, and I have already noticed some wear on the switches I play osu with(ie, they are much more broken in). I'm a bit worried that my osu playing is going to kill the keyboard, but I want to know what kind of lifetime to expect for these. I was thinking 2-3 or even more years, but wanted to clarify.

I can't answer your question, but if you're good with your hands (or know someone who is) this might interest you.

Cool. My soldering skills aren't the best, but replacing switches as they die should not be hard.

If you're not A+ at soldering and wanna take a few practice runs, maybe get a cheapo crappy echanical number pad off amazon for like £30 and use it as a test dummy?

That sounds good. My keyboard is still functioning, so I will wait for the time being. When something does happen, the keyboard was only $50 to begin with so It may be cheaper for me to just replace it. The parts could probably be used for a fightstick or something like that.

Or just buy a new one

You could get a Quickfire for a few dollars more or a Magicforce one. Both have better switches.
