What keyswitches are in this keyboard? Looks pretty cool:

This guy has disassembled the iPad, so that we can answer this and other important questions.

To it's credit, the iPad continued working while he was breaking it in half.  Impressive.

I noticed that... 'twas amusing. The keyboard popped up just as it started to snap :)

I want to see him blend a Model M! webwit, why don't you donate one of yours?

Yea! I wonder if it would even blend. You can literally hammer nails with them.

I'd like to see him actually blend that crowbar. My theory is that you'd hear a dozen Half Life 1-esque crowbar hitting sounds before the thing explodes into a disproportionately sized mess of confetti and submachinegun ammunition.
