A lot. Like. Assault with a deadly weapon a lot.

EDIT: On a more relevant note, http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Model-F-122key-Clicky-Keyboard-6110668-7-October-1985-tested-working-vintage-/181266908935?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item2a34598707#viTabs_0 Contact that seller and ask for a shipping weight. My guess is somewhere in the realm of 7Lbs or so.

8.25 pounds

3.75 kilograms

There are 3 sheets of steel in these babies!

Good lord! How heavy are the 122-key M's? I've got one of those and that thing is a tank too.

I would estimate at least 2 pounds less.
