Undisputed. Keyboard works like new, cant say the same for some of those imsto pbt caps. Next time you have a huge blowout with another individual, throw your keyboard at a door as hard as you can and make it count for science. Then, post a pic and share the results here!

I am sure Model M would make some mark on the floor...

What do you mean? Sounds perfectly reasonable! :rolleyes:

I am looking forward to this becoming a picture thread of people throwing keyboards at their doors. Or when you offer buying advice to someone like "yea, it's pretty good, but it already breaks most likely after throwing it at your front door two times. So don't take it".

Were you literally trying to kill someone with your tank of a keyboard? :)

Haha nah, happily married. It's a long story but lets just say I had it coming. Still haven't replaced it though.

JKJK, best of luck to you..

So where's the pic of the hole in the wall?
-
now get an aluminum case for it and see what happens for science!

No hole, just black marks on the door from critical impact.

people keep bringing up the aluminum as potentially more lethal, or deadlier than the plastic.. I'm here to let everyone know this is NOT true.
The aluminum board is very heavy.. it's too heavy to pick up and swing quickly..
the plastic case, plated board is nimble and capable of quickdrawing.
If you'd imagine the aluminum board as a heavy cannon, it takes too long to fire, while the guy holding a regular quickfire is akin to a guy with a regular revolver, he'll draw and kill the guy trying to light his cannon before the cannon fires.. and have time to get out of the way even if it does fire... :D

I think that most of us are buying enough keyboards for a Zombie Apocalypse in any case...

That is reason to punch her in the face.
-
If I could get enough force behind mine, no door would stop it.
5.5 pound slab of aluminum vs. a cheap housing track door? That's not even a challenge.
A plastic case may be more nimble, but they can also break and don't carry much force with them. Get mine moving and it will break bones.
-
I got 99 problems but a keyboard aint one.....
-
This is why I do not want a detachable USB cable :))
In reality though , I do not throw consumer electronics or PC hardware/peripherals at people. If thrown at me, I would catch it, pause for a second, then make a face like

we're arguing two very different things.
Lets say the door is a stationary castle... Sure a cannon works against a stationary castle better because you have lots of time to fire it
But how often do you do siege attacks, vs how often you want to atk a human... there the nimbleness of the lighter quick drawing weapon has advantage...
It's very unlikely that you'll ever be trying to beat down a door with a keyboard.
But, you may have to beat down a person.. this can be a regular thing even ...

Yes, quite an astute analogy here. Go for alum. case if you are all about heavy ordnance, and targeting a fortified position such as the front door of your apartment. If aiming for your fiance's head, a plastic case bolstered with steel plate mounted switches is preferred.

If you can't throw a keyboard made of aluminum quickly you're either very sick, very old, or need to go to the gym more.
If we were talkin steel, or tungsten, or depleted uranium or somethin I could see the too heavy to throw quickly argument, but even a below average person should be able to throw that much aluminum.
EDIT- Yep, we will argue about pretty much anything

A Model M would have gone through the door and the wall the other side! :P
What you really need is an old Nokia...

I assume you lost/sold it, because mine is still goin strong as ever so I doubt yours broke. My nes ain't doin half bad either and it's older than me.
I guess cartridge based electronics had somethin goin for em reliability wise.

make a video pick up 7 pounds and try to throw it before someone throws a baseball at your head.

Sounds pretty much spot on.. baby a QFR and it just fails out of the blue thanks to defects they still haven't bothered to fix. And gods help you if it's non-linear switches.

Yes. Because obviously I pay for a keyboard and a 2 year warranty for the express purpose of having to spend my time and more money to fix shoddy QC and defects the manufacturer can't be bothered to fix after admitting to them.
Morons.

i said beat, not kill...
I never said anything about killing, people get shot all the time and live. How many times was Tupac shot?
If you have to resort to a keyboard to defend yourself, you're already in big trouble.

If someone was trying to kill you... he wouldn't pick a moment where you'd likely have a gun to defend yourself with..
In fact, he'd probably pick when the time when you're siting at your computer... enamored with web content..

If you want to play that way, how about we apply that same logic to your argument as well...
From the time they walk into the room you are in, till the time they shoot, hit or grab you, odds are you won't have time to do anything, and even if you did, do you honestly think hitting someone with a plastic keyboard (much less from a sitting position) is going to do anything except make them angry?
Bottom line, if I hear them coming and have enough time to grab a keyboard and plan a defense, I'm going for a gun long before I grab a keyboard.

That's why you always hold a loaded gun and keep it aimed wherever you're looking.

I bet some of you play a lot of fps lol. you cannot do much of what was mentioned here in real life duh. unless you like jumpsuit fashion or something. y'all have the right to defend yourselves. better prove it though.

Now you are reviving some memories.
I once had a girl friend really really p!ssed at me. She grabbed the N64 Console and threw it out the door. The thing landed on the street.
Like a good dog, I ran outside, retrieved the console, plugged it back and it worked perfectly.
I then dared to tell her. Next time, try to do it like you mean it. Not long after that I found the console in a bag. Not sure if she used a lawnmower, a wood-chipper or a sledgehammer but the N64 was shredded to pieces. The job she did probably met DoD secure destruction standards.
