So does anybody have an idea of the keyboard buttons can be damaged by too much use etc? I know it really depends on the usage, but I guess its possible?

i bought myself a new original keypad. about USD15 bucks. i've already damaged mine (2 keys have started peeling; no doubt from too much gaming hehe). you can find a youtube video on disassembling the n900. pretty straight forward swap.
here's my observation on the peeling issue: once it starts to peel, it is very prone to continue peeling. you can literally peel off the coating with your finger nail with very little effort. however, before it is compromised, it is actually quite difficult to peel the coating off. from the looks of it, gamegripper's buttons are rubbery so i don't expect this to be an issue. my issue started because at certain times (due to a hot level in a game!!), my fingernail would come in contact with the keys.

incidentally, is there any specification / documentation somewhere which tells us how many keys we can depress at a time on the n900's keyboard and still have it register ALL keypresses before it starts to jam (like on a PC keyboard)?

Personally, peeling is no big issue for me, I am more afraid that they are becomming unuseable.
