My home office has nylon carpet and I'm always shocking my current Hiper keyboard which has a metal frame. How resistant to shocks is this iRock one?

This keyboard does not have any external metal components. Excluding 11 recessed screws on the bottom, it's all black plastic.

I completely agree with Sandalsallyearlong, I had the 5914 and with all of the flimsy plastic parts, it broke after the second use. I got the 7411 after a lot more research, and have had no problems with it. However, I don't take it up and down the stairs. I think for the extra $50 you can't go wrong with the more sturdy 7411.

shock resistance is better than the plastic cases, not as good as an Otter Box type cover.

I have had no problems with this at all. I have an iBUYPOWER standard red/black keyboard, and I've had no problems with sliding around. If I set the stands down on the back of the keyboard, it slides more, but it does not slide unusually. It is not a "sticky" material, but it has enough friction to keep everything on the mat, and off of the floor.

Yes, bcause your screen never touch the ground and if it hits the corners it has shock resisters.

It is like a standard keyboard, it has 2 feet that flip out, they are pretty sturdy. That is how I use it.

I can't really answer your question. I don't have knowledge of how the keyboard was designed. I only purchased one like the one you got, but mine arrived broken with the metal cover on top of the keys loose and unattached. Therefore all of the workings of the keyboard was visible. I returned it the very next day. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Hi there. Thank you for asking this question. The top of the k-cup drawer is made of metal and does not have any padding; however we have been using the Happy Toucan k-cup drawer for a long time now with a large Keurig brewer on top and have not experienced any vibration problems or other problems at all when brewing our coffee. The metal is solid and very sturdy.

Depends on your office environment and the switches you use. If you get the Cherry MX Red or Brown switches, they are fine, even without the o-ring mod (putting o-ring on the stem of the keycap - just Google 'o-ring mod'). Blues are clicky, that together with the sound made when you bottom out is obvious if you work in a very quiet environment. The Cherry MX Red or Brown switch and do the o-ring mod should definitely be quiet enough for office use.

Keyboard is made of ABS material. I put a screen protector on, but I am sure it could based on usage.

It's a solid keyboard. Unless you're going to play it with a sledgehammer, it'll stand up to normal wear and tear.

I have two of these and wobble is not a problem. However, I would think that wobble from typing would most likely be caused by an unsteady desk to which the arm would be attached.

I suggest you find a keyboard that can be fitted with a "skin" to keep liquid out. I haven't opened it up but doubt that it has any internal protection against spills.

Well, first I wouldn't buy a white keyboard for extreme use. It will get ugly pretty quick. I have not spilled on it, but I don't think any keyboard that is not marketed as waterproof will hold up too well to spills... especially if it is sticky.

yeah you can buy sound dampeners like these http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keyboard-accessories/cherry-mx-rubber-o-ring-switch-dampeners-125pcs.html i'm not sure what they do to the feel of the keyboard though

It's not going to break if you drop or crush your keys. You wouldn't be able to pry stuff with the blade though. It is all metal.

Its like an actual laptop keyboard. So I would say its more a durable plastic.
