Dream Keyboard

I need a keyboard that has a sturdy titanium housing and the internal components are extremely secure so when I get mad, I can smash my keyboard and nothing will happen to it. I have to use this window's on-screen keyboard now.

I remember the keyboards that came with the IBM PC that came out in the early 80s. The thing was built like a tank, with a solid metal housing, big keys with a lot of heft to them, and just an overall solid feel to it. That's what you'd probably need. Unfortunately I don't think they'll connect to today's PCs.

Just buy cheap keyboards in bulk so you can replace it when you break them.

I remember those. Sure you can connect them, you just have to get a PS/2 or USB adapter.

These keyboards aren't just noisy. They lure nuclear explosions to you when you type.

No. I was too busy performing some operations with a certain young lady.

And I was all the way out in "The Branch".

I sense that this has something to do with this:

Odd Sleep Problem

I think you're looking at this the wrong way. You should get a rubber desk so your keyboard won't break when you slam it into it.

It might bounce back and hit you in the face though, in which case, you'll be more reluctant to do so again.
