Blackberry keyboard durability

Hello all,

One of the topics I see constantly on CB is replacement keyboards for a variety of issues.

I have owned 3 BlackBerry devices. A 9900, Q10 and now a Classic. I have never had any issues with any of them and I consider myself a moderate to heavy users.

Just wondering for those of you who have had to replace them, what's causing the failures? Most of my phones I have had for 18-24 months so I don't know if I just don't keep them long enough or what?

Just curious as with BlackBerry probably not releasing any additional devices it looks like I might need to stockpile perhaps and try and keep these bad boys chugging as long as possible.

Thanks!

I have been using the Blackberry devices since 2008 . Didnt find any issues related to the PKB except had issues with tracking ball on the Pearl . I still have the Bold , Torch , 2 Passports devives but inspite of heavy usage no issues found with the PKB

I have owned the Curve 8320, Bold , Q10 and Classic and have had no problems either.

I have repaired many keyboards for others and 100% of the repairs were required because of food/dirt/water under the keyboard. My niece was really good at it, she killed one by somehow getting granola under the keys.

My Passport keyboard is currently acting up. First it was the A key, reboot fixed, last night caps got stuck on, reboot fixed. Have recently been using my phone outside while doing yardwork. So, probably dirt is the problem again.
