Please answer me

You should look at the MTBF of mechanical switches, they have a higher endurance rating than a rubber dome/membrane keyboard.

The IBM Model M keyboards were (ARE) just about indestructible -- https://digitalorientalist.com/2015/10/12/ibm-model-m-the-mother-of-all-keyboards/

Using one and can confirm it's really sturdy, all switches work fine even after almost 40 years, it was heavily used back in the day, then sit on a shelf for another 20 years until I got it.

The true answer is don't play multiplayer videogames or whatever makes you ragequit.

If you are asking what keyboard can withstand your rage quitting and hitting it against your wooden table, I'm not sure there is one designed for that 🤣 . Your best bet is to get an all aluminum keyboard case (if for gaming look at 60% to 75% layout) with hot swappable mechanical switches. The solid case should hold up a little better than an ABS Plastic case and hopefully the worse would be the key caps come off in the rage.

Maybe better to figure out how to prevent the rage versus a keyboard to survive it 🤣

The old Gateway 104 key keyboards were just about the same durability as an IBM model M. I had one of those. Pity that it did not have a PS2 connector. Would have been more useful. Although motherboards are finally dropping the single PS2 keyboard port. Just built a B850 AMD without a PS2 port.

Was that XT/AT kind of DIN connector or proprietary?

There were DIN to PS/2 adapters back in the day, my kb came with a DIN cable and I used an adapter for my computer, it's the cheap purple one but it works.
I don't use it because it's retro but because it's far better than the no-name USB membrane stuff available in my country, I got this and an XT model F from the ewaste bin of my old workplace.

Also a complete 5150 although it's not working, something in the power supply is dead as it attempts to boot and instantly shuts off. And the monitor is also dead. Gonna restore that thing one day. Try to install DOS 3 on it.

Anger management course.
See a psychotherapist.

It had the 5 pin DIN.

Some console controllers are quite durable and can survive a few throws. From what I'm finding online, DS4 and Xbox 360 controllers are very durable. Keyboards have a lot more things that can break.
