This is a great indication of product quality....and of course your musician quality as you have so many gigs! Thanks for sharing this news though.

Reading the forums over the years, I believe the most common failures are

1) Batteries
2) Joystick

I haven't seen any joystick failure reports recently....and I never knew for sure whether they were failing due to people being a bit heavy handed with them or that it was a weak design.

Joystick broke on mine after about 6 months (about 120 gigs). After it was replaced I used it for another year and a half (360 or so more gigs) with no more problems. I normally work 5 nights a week.
I MAY have been responsible for the joystick breaking because it protrudes when the keyboard is in a bag. After it broke I always covered it with a piece of foam that was cut out to protect it while in transport.
