I've got a $6 one I've been using for years, and I frequently beat the shit out of it. And I mean literally just pounding on it, not to type, but just to beat :) With all the physical abuse I give this ultra-cheapie thing, I honestly can't believe it still works fine after all these years. "AOpen" gets my approval for keyboards :) (Heh, I actually had to turn it over to check the brand. I had no idea what it was.) I never spill anything on it, though.
