About the armored part: it's hard plastic, metal base wire-frame inside, fat external plastic layer, and the whole thing is massed and grounded. It's not too heavy, but signifficantly heavier than our normal keyboard. Nice buttons, metal letters on the space key which are the main grounding, altho you'd be grounded when touching anywhere on the keyboard. A bit old model(8 years +) with no multimedia tabs, but a heck of a board. Hey, it whitstood eight years under my pounding fingers.
