I'm looking for an all metal keyboard. I want the whole thing, keys included to be metal instead of plastic. I have tried looking on a couple online stores (newegg, tigerdirect) and I didn't see any and searching "metal keyboard" seems to confuse google because it doesn't bring up anything close to what I'm after. Do any of you know if such a keyboard exists and where I might buy one? Thanks.

It sounds like an ESD/grounding nightmare to me. Also, i've seen USB ports that are isolated (shield on the port jack not grounded to the PCB or not filled with solder) so a surge to your keyboard your has no where to go but straight to your USB controller chip and then it's done.
If you do find one, post it up here as I would like to take a look at it.

It doesn't surprise me that these would be so rare. Aside from the ESD/grounding issues that could accompany them.... how many manufacturers would be willing to invest in the hard tooling upfront costs to be able stamp out a peripheral where the market has deemed cheaper is better. You might need a fruit logo to get this off the ground.
