The 50g was introduced in 2006, and under the conditions that you noted, I've never heard of one 'wearing out' or even becoming troublesome. So far. Depending on the user's skin chemistry, the painted key labels can wear somewhat, but this is true for all painted labels, and injected keys are just not being made by anyone anymore (for a $100 consumer product).

Of course if treated poorly, etc. some units have ultimately needed replacement (there are posts here, on HP's support site, etc.) and a few cases of SD card slot failure, but it seems they were quite well made, correcting the poor build quality of the models preceding it.
