I know many people aren't happy with Corsair but I bought the rather ridiculously expensive K95 keyboard years ago (it's different now), and haven't had any issue with it apart from killing some of the media buttons when I spilt coffee all over it recently. I don't think it's anywhere near getting replaced.
Other than that I have one of the cheaper models of Das Keyboard for work and have been nothing but happy with it. Also upgraded it with some o-rings so people around me don't want to kill me.
You're talking to one of them. Disappointing failures of both mouse and keyboard resulting in returning hundreds of pounds worth of supposedly high-end products within months of purchase. At least one of the problems I had was also getting reported by others by the time I sent that product back, so it also looks like a design flaw and not just bad luck. I think you also need to install their resource-hungry, crash-prone software to make use of most of the special features too, though that's hardly relevant if keys are falling off and buttons aren't registering presses anyway.
I wouldn't even consider buying more peripherals from Corsair for a while. The quality isn't there and they don't work properly in a you-had-one-job kind of way. Worst of a bad bunch in my experience.

I use both without installing any junk.
