ROLI Seaboard RISE - Does it stand the test of time ? will it last ?

Have had my ROLI Seaboard Rise 49 since new for 7 years now and with the recent release of the RISE 2 thought I'd give an honest review on how it's held up over all this time :-)
As mentioned in the video, here are some links to other videos I've done on the Seaboard that delve into the finer details:

This is great to hear. I'm always curious about longevity when buying high-end products.
I was looking to get an osmose, but this video helps me steer towards ROLI.

That new gesture instrument "airwave" paired with the Rise 2 seems superlatively expressive!

Tips like providing proper maintenance and playing with clean hands are important to note.
Thanks m8

What a great man-cave. Once I've squeezed in between the ModX and the "Seaboard" desk, that's me sorted for the rest of the day. The Seaboard has been on my radar for a while so I'm going to review your other vids on this. Your earlier vids on midi connectivity were an education. I had to chuckle when you said about hair-wax on the keyboard. I'm not that far behind you. :)

I was thinking about buying a seaboard rise but I was worried about the longevity of the keyboard, this helped out a lot. Thanks!

Are these still being produced? Didn't they fully switch to the smaller ones? I had the privilege on trying one at a friend's house, wonderful keyboard. So who knows one day... One day...!
