I'm thinking the key heads should be assembled with plastic epoxy on the insert... let it bond to the outer shell before using.

should massively increase the longevity.

I just smashed a chunk of 1/2" copper, and soldered it to the key... dipped it in black por15, or paint it... looks great, indestructible.
