Semi-related note, I had to purchase a right angle USB adapter since the way I routed my cabling caused a stressful bend. Since the USB C port is deeply recessed, other right angle adapters would not fit so I had to get one that was more rounded and elongated (picture a macaroni elbow shape).
If you get 2 years without having to replace or do any maintenance, that is great.
KEYCAPS: Keycaps last as long as the strength of their materials, well-built keycaps will essentially never need replaced. Ones made from lesser materials will often crack at the switch mounting point. Lettering may wear down so the letters become unreadable, but there are designs that prevent this if you want to ensure the letters remain clearly readable for a long time.
SWITCHES: Cherry Switches are rated to last 100 million actuations, which most estimate averages about 15 years with extensive use as an all-day daily driver, or longer with lighter use. This is the only component where eventual failure is truly inevitable.
I've been using the same Corsair K70 with Cherry Reds as my daily driver for the last 11 years and the only thing that has degraded is the lettering on some of the keycaps is a bit less readable. All original components; haven't switched out a single switch or keycap in 11 years.

A simple look at 1 star reviews on Amazon for your K70 keyboard, will show defects. Keyboards that last are those OEM ones you get with a desktop. Nothing in them to break.
If mechanical keywords are so reliable, everyone would be using them, but you never see them in libraries, cash registers or anywhere.
Your 1 keyboard experience does not represent the real world.
Why do keyboard companies offer only 2-3 year warranties, why not 10?
Look at the reddit posts about mechanical keyboards.
Why are there so many replacement parts for them.
If all your doing is typing on slickdeals, yeah your keyboard will last a long time, but so will any other keyboard.

For people that want a quick and dirty guide though:
Membrane switches last 5m presses, about 1.5 years of heavy use.
MX Cherry switches last 50m presses, about 15 years of heavy use.
That is literally the start and end of the conversation related to mechanical vs membrane, any other build-related considerations will be specific to the keyboard. From here, common sense should dictate that keyboards that are well-known and universally recognized for their durability (like the K70) will outlast anything your OEM throws in the box for free.

You don't game at all so will never understand stresses placed on a keyboard.
I have a pile of mechanical keyboards with chattering switches, sticky switches and busted keycaps. My mechanical keyboard on my gaming laptop has broken LEDs.
2 years is good usage for Gaming. If you get more, that is great.
On the other hand, you telling people they can get 10 years is really bad acting.
Better to under promise and over-deliver than over promise and disappoint people.
People don't need to believe me.
Just read the reviews themselves.

I don't think you get what i am saying.

Literally the entire point of what you were responding to was essentially that if you're a frugal buyer/buy-it-for-lifer, it is usually worth it to spend ~$100 on a keyboard with a PCB and keycaps that will last as long as the switches rather than blowing the whole budget on switches that last decades and getting fragile keycaps and a PCB that fails in the first couple years to hit a $50 price point. At that point, you might as well get cheap switches to match the ensemble since you'll be throwing away your investment after a couple years.
Also be aware that chattering (particularly with cherry switches, which do not commonly have issues) is usually caused by a faulty PCB/bad solder point, not an issue with the switches themselves, so I wouldn't write off Cherry switches if chattering is the only issue you've had with them. Am curious if your sticky switches were Cherry though, and if so, if there have been any soda-related incidents or other things that would explain it as I have never had or heard of any issues with Cherries sticking.

Name me literally any product, the highest-quality, most reliable, most beloved, best product you can think of, and I'll find you dozens of reviews about how it's actually complete garbage. What is the point of this selection bias exercise if not to make a point that you know full well is wrong? If this is how you make honest assessments on products, you must live in a very grim alternate reality where no good products exist.
Looking exclusively at 1-star reviews for a product that has an average score of 4.6 can be a somewhat useful exercise in identifying the most common issues a product *can* have, and obviously manufacturing defects can and will happen on rare occasion with even the highest-quality products (that will be covered by return policy), but it should also be obvious this sample is not going to be representative at all of the average user experience, which is what we're interested in, and which is overwhelmingly positive. Ask any reputable person about the longevity of the K70 and they'll tell you it's extremely uncommon for them to fail in the first 10 years. Sourcing your data exclusively from random nobodies on Amazon and biasing your sample to only consider 1-star reviews on a highly-rated product is going to give you a perception that doesn't match up with reality at all.
Also worth noting the current K70 isn't even the same model as the one I own, so the point is doubly moot since I'm sure a lot has changed in 11 years.
