Just do a search for industrial aluminum or stainless steel keyboards.  
We used one from a company called IKey for a mapping kiosk that  
required people put in their street address to zoom into a  
geographical location using a very kiosk unfriendly app called Keyhole  
Earth Viewer (the predecessor to GoogleEarth). There are other  
companies as well. These keyboards are used on factory floors and  
outdoors, so they are made to be abused.
