I have never seen one of these retail boxes before - ‘Enjoy Selectric Touch’ nice advertising which goes back to the original Model M design concept of trying to create the Selectric feel (ripster will disagree)
Lying buggers state its good for a 25 million cycle life which we all know is a gross underestimation or are Lexmark’s more junky?

That's Unicomp's spec for it too, and there's nothing to suggest the IBM made ones lasted any longer (they're all the same thing really). Those membranes don't last forever.
And yeah, they don't feel anything even remotely like a Selectric.

Easy to clean:
Simply wipe with a damp cloth
I prefer dishwasher
