haha, i came across this ad on youtube while browsing the internet. And feel like i should share it here :D
I dont think it really works after that though: if it really does i should start considering g710 as my first brown boaard!!!

You don't need to be a tank. To be a tank.

I want this done with every keyboard. I need to know what keyboards are tank-proof.

If you need a tank to press your keys down, you might want to consider lighter springs/switches.  :))

I'm pretty sure my Ducky is tank proof... I mean, logitech is.... So why wouldn't Filco or Ducky be?

Cooler Master did it first:


And I suppose Thermaltake did too:


Too bad Logitech insists on using Browns and that they've had all those issues with LEDs burning out. 

It's a fun video an all, but there's enough displacement of weight that most keyboards should survive.  It doesn't hurt that it's a Hetzer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hetzer), one of the lighter Panzers and probably super stripped down to make it even lighter.

To Logitech's credit, the Panzer probably puts more pressure on the keyboard.
