I haven't had any problems with my Ducky Shine III, and it has been close to 2.5 years of daily use. I haven't had any LEDs die on me, but I also don't go around pretending my keyboard is a light-saber and go waving it around with LEDs on 24/7.

No problems here with my Ducky boards, on my white ISO/Nordic shine 2, all white  LEDs are still workin after 4 years use and I'm writin this text on my ANSI Ducky Shine 3.

I also have a ANSI Ducky One RGB YOTG with Cherry MX Black.

I've had my Shine 4 with blues since April 2015 and all the leds are bright as can be and each switch feels crisp and basically new still.  It's been extremely reliable, is pretty, and feels nice.  I love it.

One of my Ducky Shine (version 1) has had heavy daily use for about 4 years, maybe a little longer.  Still works perfectly.

My other one is a little older, and also still works perfectly, but hasn't had a fraction of the use.

All LEDs also still work on both.  No dimming.  No burnouts.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
