Examine the MTBF of mechanical switches; they show greater durability compared to a rubber dome or membrane keyboard.

The IBM Model M keyboards were remarkably durable and long-lasting.

And does there exist a keyboard priced similarly to the current average, where each key operates like the standard ones can withstand a strong impact from a wooden table? If yes, what is it?

With one and can verify it's really solid, all switches function properly even after nearly four decades. It was used intensively in the past, then stored on a shelf for another two decades before I acquired it.

If you are asking what keyboard can withstand your rage quitting and hitting it against your wooden table, I'm not sure there is one designed for that
🤣
. Your best bet is to get an all aluminum keyboard case (if for gaming look at 60% to 75% layout) with hot swappable mechanical switches. The solid case should hold up a little better than an ABS Plastic case and hopefully the worse would be the key caps come off in the rage.
Maybe better to figure out how to prevent the rage versus a keyboard to survive it
🤣

The old Gateway 104 keyboards were nearly as tough as an IBM model M. I owned one of them. Sad that it didn’t have a PS2 connector—it would have been better. Motherboards are now phasing out the single PS2 keyboard port. I just made a B850 AMD without that port.

Was das XT/AT-artige DIN-Kabel ein Standard oder eine spezielle Konfiguration war? Es gab früher DIN-Anschlüsse, die in PS/2-Adapter umgewandelt wurden; mein Gerät kam mit einem DIN-Kabel, ich nutzte einen Adapter für meinen PC – das ist das günstigste, aber es funktioniert. Ich benutze es nicht mehr, weil es alt ist, aber es ist deutlich besser als die billigen USB-Membran-Versionen, die hier erhältlich sind. Ich kaufte es aus dem Altar des ehemaligen Arbeitsplatzes, einem gebrauchten XT-Modell F aus dem E-Waste. Außerdem ist es ein vollständiger 5150, obwohl es nicht funktioniert – der Stromversorger scheint kaputt zu sein und versucht beim Start einfach auszuschalten. Auch der Monitor ist defekt. Ich plane, das Gerät wiederherzustellen und versuche, DOS 3 darauf zu installieren.
