Why do "angry" gamers bash their keyboards?
Well, I'm sure you've seen those videos (FPS Doug?) where the angry gamer smashes his keyboard.
Why do you think he smashes the keyboard though?

RE: Why do "angry" gamers bash their keyboards?
not being a keyboard smasher myself ive always wondered this same thing... and ive come to this conclusion:
Cause the keyboard's keys are like multiple stress balls packed together.

RE: Why do "angry" gamers bash their keyboards?
I like to smash my keyboard when something goes wrong, but its not really in games ususally (more like other hardware or coding related stuff) because i jsut want to smash the pc. I used to suckerpunch my monitor but now i got a LCD. I still kick the case though, being smart 'cause that's where the brains are' lol. That's probably why it hates me and im looking for someone stupid to buy it.
I smash the keyboard because its satisfying to hit something without holding back and well, it's part of the computer and sometimes keys dramatically fly out or something.
Anecdote: My chocolatety laptop hardreset on me after I did that to it, and I lost a lot of work so I didnt bother letting it restart, unplugged it, tore it apart and made Binderserv. True story.

I don't smash my keyboard, but that would be my reason
There is a suspicious hole in my nearby plasterboard though

RE: Why do "angry" gamers bash their keyboards?
you should make it multiple choice:
1They aren't strong enough to pick up a monitor or PC tower
2Cause, really, it's the keyboard's fault for not being 1337 enough to understand the gamer

RE: Why do "angry" gamers bash their keyboards?
i don't smash my keyboard, that's useless
what i do is that I either punch the case (not hard) or punch the wall that is on my right (~20 cm from me)
i do it rarely, but when i do it, i mostly punch the wall and must admit its satifying :P
