How many keystrokes do I use each year?

I realize this number might be different for everyone depending on how often they use a computer and what they do on it. I game several hours on weekends and do school work on weekdays.

I just ordered a Logitech K120 keyboard, which is said to last 10 million keystrokes, and wonder how long membrane keyboards last, or if all keyboards are made so strongly that they'll never be expected to die at all at the hands of the average user.

I have seen some where the wider keys (i.e. shift, enter, space) get wobbly and don't respond to all types of keypresses. Granted most of those are at least ten years old, and/or in a lab setting.
