Under normal use (like we hams do), they will last quite a long time.
Well, my concern is not with the markings but with the buttons themself:
These buttons will collect dust and moist over the year and become
sticky, erratic or unusable. Having to unmount the front panel to apply
some contact spray once a year may be a solution, but having to apply a
1 ton pressure in the upper right corner of a tiny button in hope that
it will work is not fun at all. And it gives the unit as a whole that
cheap "made-in-###" touch i'd have do without.
BTW my Thinkpad laptop is 2 years old and some keys ARE already erased.
Is there a technical explanation of why Elecraft chose this kind of
buttons, or is it just for budget ?
