It was only a few weeks ago that I was reviewing Mionix's NAOS 5000 mouse and was very impressed to say the least. For the past 2 weeks I've had the pleasure of testing their Zibal 60 mechanical gaming keyboard. I remember a few months ago typing up a news post about a "rage-proof" keyboard. Because I cover such a broad umbrella of news, sometimes I totally forget what I've talked about a week later. Then I received this bad boy in the mail and I instantly remember it from the feature of it being "rage-proof".

I had set the Zibal 60 up on my desk and was using it for basic tasks - typing, Facebook, e-mails, surfing the tubes and a quick few bashes at some games. I had some friends over and one of them asked about the new keyboard on my desk. I replied with "yeah, that's the one I did some news on a while ago - Mionix say it's rage-proof." I explained that it can sustain a few "omfg, hacker/BS shot" expressions of rage through a hit to the keyboard and the next second with the power of Zeus himself, my friend smashes his Hulk-like hand into the centre of the keyboard. Just like when Neo lifts off in the Matrix, I saw a ripple through my room from the sheer force of this rage and thought "that keyboard is dead, there's no way it can be THAT rage-proof.
