My husband hits the keyboard like an old typewriter. We have a new Mac. Will pounding damage the keyboard?

Question

Will it damage a new IMAC keyboard to pound on it like an old typewriter? Old habits die hard.

Answer 1

All those micro switches don't require hammer force blows.
So when the keyboard fails, be ready to get another.
Reminds me of a neighbor years ago with a PC and while
the super-slow dialup internet took long durations to load
up pages, he would be clicking on the mouse button.
And then the computer OS would freeze. After a few months,
happened I was there several times to witness & said zip,
finally I suggested there was a cause & effect going on and
hinted the computer would not work faster while trying to
process a mouse click at nothing, (spinning wheel already)
or his hammering on the keyboard in a rush, with slow ISP.
Of course, half their problem was their cheep PC with windows 1.
At least with a new computer, you could talk the reseller out
of a new replacement keyboard within the complementary
plan. For extensive demands, get the optional AppleCare.
Good luck & happy computing!
