Ummmmm, yes...  :-)  In the voice of that ventriliquist that had that purple gorilla named 'Peanut', "Because they are plastiik".  Okay, if you did not get that, don't worry.  I know that I am weird...  :-O  Anyways, they are very cheaply made.  I have gone through one as quick as six months.  I think someone mentioned relaying it, and that is not a bad idea.  I think they actually fail because the switches are little plastic arms, and they are occassionally moistened with gear oil.  I will bet that the gear oil breaks the plastic down...

Cheers,
  David
