You would need to look at the laptop specs and see if they list a typical number of key presses the keyboard is rated for. Even if you use a laptop you can use an external keyboard if you want. And a replacement laptop keyboard is often cheap, under $30.

The good mechanical switch keyboards are rated at 50 million clicks or higher. Usually the larger keys start to fail or at least sound worse first, space bar, shift, enter keys.

Not sure what you are saying here, what is "keep getting freezer"? External what may be the cause of what? What does this have to do with the question about how long a laptop keyboard will last?

Sorry. It keeps getting freezed/hanged. Laptop with Windows 10. I am using external keyboard and mouse on it. Can it be the cause?

Why don't you just ask that in the first place if that was the issue? Your question had nothing at all to do with the issue you now say you have, totally unrelated questions just waste time getting to the real issue.

So what if you don't use the external keyboard and mouse, does the system still do the same thing? It is not likely that an external keyboard or mouse would cause lockups but could happen if there are issues with the USB port or the hardware you are using.

Thanks. I was worried laptop keyboard might be dead given my heavy use.

My desktop was getting slow so I decided to get myself a new laptop. I purchased it a couple of days back thinking it would increase my productivity, but to my disappointment it came with Windows 10 Home, which sucks. It kept getting hanged. Besides, when it is running "normally" the internet on it seems to be not stable. My work software requires continuous uninterrupted stability of the net. It is neither stable on WiFi, nor on direct RJ45 cable connection to the laptop. Work files keep getting lost due to this unstability of the net on laptop. On desktop, the net is stable with RJ45 connector. Now, it works without hanging for at least 10 hours as i have noted. After that it starts hanging. After I updated the windows 10, this started happening. Can anyone suggest me the solution pls? I use external keyboard and external mouse for laptop as it gives me comfortable position on my recliner.

No, Windows 10 doesn't "suck".
Your laptop losing connectivity or whatever is not a result of Windows 10 vs something else.

Give us some actual info, and maybe we can help you figure out what is going on.

Laptop details, which specific WIn 10 version, exactly what happens...etc, etc.
As much detail as you can.

here is my laptop configuration. Also, when I try to find a particular word or phrase in Word document, it shows vague results. Like if i try to find Bass, it will show me all the documents containing Bibass, Simbass, etc. not precise. And yes, quotation marks are also not helping. appreciate your help. https/www.flipkart.com/asus-core-i5-8th-gen-8-gb-1-tb-hdd-windows-10-home-2-gb-graphics-r542uq-dm252t-laptop/p/itmf4hcwgbcde33t?pid=COMF4GGQ43VVZNGP&cmpid=product.share.pp
